I thought to post this as it may save someone $$ and time in the future.
I'm rebuilding my sanitation system, a Raritan CrownII and Purasan, with bought rebuild parts from Raritan. I got the toilet back together and poured test water into it and guess what ... a leak, imagine that! The leak appeared to be where the motor motor shaft went through the new bushing at the rear of the toilet. I had noticed that the SS shaft was corroded some in this area but thought it would be OK and as my friends would say that is what I get for thinking!! I had rebuilt said motor and didn't want to buy a new one. I remembered from my industrial days using a SS sleeve called "Speedy Sleeve" I slipped/glued one on and problem fixed! Should be good for years. These are available at automotive places like NAPA.

Hey, thanks for passing that info along. I've been in the marine toilet business for 36+ years and have never heard of a speedy sleeve. How thick is it? Doesn't it interfere where the shaft goes through the seal?
Just checking back Head Master. stmbtwle is correct, the sleeve is thin enough to use the same seal. We used them in the industrial maintenance field is why I thought of one, you can also repair damaged shafts in cars/trucks. We have been using the head for a month now and all looks good.
