Build fiberglass shaft tubes and PSS stuffing box. Its in Capt.Patricks build section.
MY 2 cents.

shafts are good

the capt. patrick double glass tube method also will add speed, no question about it . i extended the tubes a little further and contour fairing around them must use pss seal because it also cools the joint.

You talking about stuffing boxes or cutless bearings?

For stuffing boxes many go with the PSS dripless
