1989 Sp Hull Seal

[Hildy]

Hey guys, ive got a 1989 Sp. 580, and im getting a good amount of water leaking through the driveshaft to hull seal. I have done a fair amount of googling, and it appears that the 1989 is a unique "flange seal" style of its own, and i cant find a replacement anywhere, have any of you guys ran into this, and come across a solution?

Are you referring to the seal carrier? It's a metal ring with some mounting holes and then a bearing inside that ring, mounted by some rubber?

I'm looking at pictures of it and if you're leaking from that rubber it doesn't look serviceable.... But I've never dealt with one of those before so i could be wrong (known to happen).

Doesn't look like you can buy one so may want to look at ebay. If it is the carrier the part number is 272000004
