[C320-list] Dry bilge?

[jsheets at aol.com]

We had to replace our shaft this summer due to discovery of some twisting, probably caused by PO fouling the prop. We replaced our bronze shaft with stainless steel. I am having trouble regulating the drip and it seems to get hotter than before. Any ideas as if the new stainless shaft makes a difference?
