Replacing water cool stern bearing to traditional bass stern gear with greaser unit (explained)

the sump will wear you batteries flat if the seals are leaking there is not quck fix to this if what happend to this water cooled stern bearing made by Tides Marine.. also If the Water Temp freezes this blue rubber tube is all that stops this device from falling and could very well sink you boat with an traditionally Stern Gear fitted cannot freeze and split.    

this is the old warn stainless shaft as you can clearly see the silt really has warn the shaft so the new seals Do Not fit and therefore fail to seal and leak I keep seeing the problem and I do advise the new instillation of a traditionally Stern Gear these should last well over 10yrs with the right maintained Gland packing and Grease.        

This is this inside of the old stern unit and I believe this silt inside becomes an abrasive paste and therefore wears the prop shaft which means the new replacement seal that is supplied with the old unit
do not fit leading to leaking seals       

We Always Weld In place A 10mm Steel Holding plate  for the Stern Gear Gland/Grease Packer Section
This is held in place by 4 Bolts with locking nuts. 

End result for the new weld in boss with the Brass  Stern Tube Inserted
