Prop shaft sealing option.

Running through so ideas for a small build. What are the options for running a shaft through the transom. Seen a few running about £200 non drip but also spotted a Volvo option for £60 ish which just looks like a rubber pipe.

Are they really as simple as one end clamped to chat and other to shaft tub. How does the shaft spin freely. Are they just greased up.


On a French site there is one that just looks like a bit of samco hose. This could be an option.

Cheers seems I've been over thinking it. The diagrams above help. Jet drive would be great but may be over complicating it.

I'll have a million more questions for project mini boat.

Yes will be through the hull hence looking at jet drive easier to transport and store.

A small short shaft outboard maybe easier but where's the fun in that. Once Ive looked though gearbox\clutch options I'll know further.
