Stern Tube Seal Replacement Services

RM Propulsion specializes in stern tube seal replacement and offers a comprehensive range of services, including overhaul, repair, and troubleshooting for your vessel’s stern tube system. Stern tube seal maintenance is essential and should be carried out at least every five years to maintain the efficiency and safety of your propulsion system. Above all, we are ready to assist with emergency repairs whenever necessary to minimize downtime.

Our service technicians can service all common brands including:

Efficient Overhaul, Bonding, and Repairs

Our engineers provide comprehensive stern tube seal replacement services, including overhauls with the shaft withdrawn, by bonding technic, and emergency repairs. We ensure that your stern tube system remains fully functional and properly protected. Under ideal conditions, a standard overhaul of the AFT and FWD seals typically takes 3 to 4 working days, provided that no unforeseen issues arise during the process.

One-Year Warranty on Stern Tube Seal Bonding

For peace of mind, all stern tube seal bonding services come with a one-year warranty, ensuring the quality of our work and the continued reliability of your vessel’s stern tube system.

Dry Dock or Afloat Stern Tube Seal Service

We offer flexibility in performing stern tube seal replacement either in dry dock or afloat, depending on your vessel’s needs. A stern tube overhaul is typically done in dry dock, where full access allows for thorough inspections and repairs.

However, in some cases, if there is a leakage or other issues requiring immediate attention, the work may need to be done afloat. This flexibility ensures we can meet your requirements, whether your vessel is in port or operating at sea.
