Hank,
We used them a lot. They work fine as long as the spring tension is set correctly. Be careful rinsing them off, as the o-rings will retain water and can cause case and shaft corrosion. That's probably more a salt water issue than fresh, but oxygen starvation will make SS rust, too.

Vance,
I broke the mechanical seal seat yesterday while replacing an iffy bearing.  I am curiouse how reliable these spring loaded seals were.  I ask because I can buy a couple of nice upgraded mechanical seals on eBay for a good price.
