Spanish term or phrase: GALERA
Dear Colleagues! I need help with the following term "GALERA". Some context below:

EJE PORTA HÉLICE DE PASO VARIABLE:
En el respaldo de la hélice, hacia proa y en contacto con la misma, tiene una pieza, llamada GALERA, que es el conjunto que asegura el no ingreso de agua a la bocina, donde gira el eje. La GALERA, se sella con tres retenes con labio de sello que se fijan al tubo de la bocina y sus labios están en contacto con la superficie de la galera, evitando la entrada de agua al tubo de la bocina.

Thank you all :)!

Pilar.

aft seal
Explanation:
There may be more than one name for this, depending on the system used.
The stern tube is sealed by a gland, the stern gland, which has nuts to compress the packing -gland nuts- as you can see if you search for images of stern tube.
Different hull shapes and engine/propeller configurations have different types of sealing mechanisms, but the pictures will give a good idea.
