I don't think you have to run it overboard. It just has to get above the water line on all angles of heel. I didn't install mine so it isn't a fresh memory but I believe mine runs into the engine compartment, through the compartment roof and into the HVAC compartment under the companion way stairs. I can't recall how it is terminated.
I have a PYI (PSS) dripless seal now and generally like the engineering of PYI products but I suggest that you consider the sailor sams last drop seal. I was quite impressed by the display at the boat show. Of particular interest as I recall was that instead of a rubber bellows which could weaken the last drop seal uses ridged hose and a spring pack. As I recall, the carbon rings can also be replaced without having to pull the prop shaft. https://www.sailorsams.com/Lasdrop_DrySeal_Shaft_Seal Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Feb 16, 2018 9:06 PM, "Brien Sadler via CnC-List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > > Has anyone changed to a PSS dripless stuffing box?
