GLIDE Bearings and Seal Systems
Here at propshopinc.com we are excited to announce that we are now carrying GLIDE Bearings and Seal Systems as our newest product line. Read on to learn about the different items we will be carrying and hopefully answer any questions you may have. In our previous article, I went over ski, wakeboard, & surf boats, in this article, we will be taking a look at general marine applications.
GLIDE ULTRA Marine Shaft Seal Systems (GMSS ULTRA)
The GLIDE ULTRA Shaft Seal System is high quality, made in The USA, and relatively easy to install. Boaters and fishermen have been replacing their bronze packing / stuffing boxes and old dripless shaft seals with The GMSS ULTRA system and from the installation process to the product’s durability, we have heard nothing but good things.
Below I will list some of the ULTRA’s features, but I would like emphasize how easily and quickly you can change to the included spare seal should the need arise. In order to change seals, it takes about 5 minutes without flooding the bilge! Watch the video below to see how quick, easy, and dry the seal change is.
