I use a PYI system and have not had a water leakage at the shaft. The
water I get in the bilge is coming down the mast, because I mounted a
hard vang as low as possible to the cabin top. Mistake because found it
almost impossible to seal. However the seal I use does limit that
problem until the heavy downpours. I do have a Rule separate float
switch mounted forward (slightly higher) of the low point in my bilge
with the Rule pump in the low point. I keep the switch "off" when not
aboard since the boat is on a mooring and the last thing I need is a
dead battery because the float got stuck "on".

I don’t have and never have had an auto bilge pump. I would have to
let the boat sit a month or two for water to be a real issue and that
comes from rain down the mast.
I have a carbon face seal on the shaft that does not drip.
