HOT 'little' TIP..........TESTED !

Water entering up the stuffing tube is generally overcome by 'Greasing' the drive shaft within the stuffing tube. The down side can be - hassle - power sapping - messy.

I have run a few surf tests now,with a short piece of Silicon tube fitted over the end of the Brass stuffing tube / over a portion of the extending drive shaft. (tube ID equal to the drive shaft OD) I have only 'very lightly' greased the drive shaft..........nett result.... less drag - less mess - no water whatsoever comes past the silicon tube. ( acts like a crankcase seal on a crankshaft)
