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. https://www.brighthubengineering.com/naval-architecture/62728-what-is-a-ships-stern-tube/ https://www.google.com/search?q=stern+gland+components&client=firefox-b-d&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=uZfFHV8n5a7HAM%252CKgTRZbsesvDzjM%25 |
