Selecting a Lasdrop Dripless Shaft Seal for Your Propeller Shaft
Lasdrop Shaft Seals is the only manufacturer of BOTH mechanical face seals, and lip seals. Leveraging 40+ years of longevity in the marine industry, Lasdrop has become one of the finest manufacturers of commercial and recreational shaft seals available on the market today. See below for dripless shaft seal options.
EliteSeal Dripless Lip Seals
The EliteSeal is Lasdrop's most popular seal for any marine application complete with the innovative spare housing and quick changing split face plate. The EliteSeal design is proven, tested, and reliably dry, and the design ensures high initial or retrofit quality for most marine applications. The EliteSeal offers a unique split face plate design and options for up to 2 spare seals, lowering maintenance costs when seals need replacement. EVERY EliteSeal can be purchased with an additional spare seal case and spare seal option.
Spare Seal & Spare Seal Case
All EliteSeal shaft seals come with our spare seal case and 1 premium Nitrile seal. A total of 2 spare seals can fit inside the seal case. The innovative split face plate design allows you to install a new seal without removing it from the shaft – lowering your overall maintenance.
Integrated Bearing Design
The integrated water lubricated bearing will allow the seal body to follow the shaft insuring proper face seal alignment. ALL Lasdrop bearing housings have tolerances within 0.001. The integrated bearing allows the seal body to self-align following the shaft.
Gen 2 Dripless Face Seals
The Lasdrop Gen2 Shaft Seal is a commercial grade mechanical face seal designed for long lasting installation in some of the harshest conditions. The face seal is made specifically for commercial and heavy personal marine use, and is one of the most premium seals you will find on the market today.
Pressure Housing -vs- Bellows Hose
The Gen2 creates compression through the use of our innovative pressure housing, eliminating the needs for a bellows hose. This pressure housing offers a much longer life span when compared to a bellows, giving you less maintenance over the life of your seal.

Integrated Clamping System
The Gen2 Pressure Housing secures to the shaft through a simple integrated clamping system. This eliminates the need for set screws – which can potentially damage the shaft & slide after their first use resulting in a less secure and stable seal.

Its proven, tested, and reliably dry design ensures high initial or retrofit quality for most marine applications. The economical DrySeal offers a proven design constructed of the most premium materials on the marine market.
