PYI Dripless Seal issues

[Seman]

I have now a SS hose clamp secured on the shaft a 1/4'' behind the SS color. iI can see if the fitting has moved. Nearly sunk my boat when the fitting shifted 6 years ago.

What's a loose can doing rolling around in your boat?
Ever heard of proper storage?
How about a loose screw sucked into your engine?

Would that be the fault of the engine when it blows up?
Flimsy engine??

Eight years. Zero leakage, slippage, or movement. Bellows still feels supple.
