Dear Dennis,

You will recall that we had correspondence last year with respect to a Strong Shaft Seal that refused to seal completely. You sent me a new unit, which I was unable to install until this spring. I wrote you on May 13th that I had installed the seal and would let you know how it worked after my first cruise of the season.

I have just finished the first cruise of the 2004 season. I am pleased to report that the replacement shaft seal worked as is supposed to. The bilge is dry, the first time in many years. I want to thank you and your firm for the excellent service and the fact that you stand behind your products.

Chimo,
Bill H.
