Why Choose PSS?

Advanced Engineering Made Simple

At the heart of the PSS system is a carbon-graphite flange that remains stationary while a stainless-steel rotor spins with the shaft. The contact between these two ultra-flat surfaces forms a perfect seal, maintained by a preloaded compression system.

This simple, elegant design results in:

  • No friction wear on the shaft

  • Constant sealing pressure at all RPMs

  • Long-term durability in rough marine conditions

Whether your boat is moored full time or runs daily, the PSS system offers peace of mind and dry bilges.
