Tailshaft clearance in oil seal type stem bearing taken by gauge and found to be same as originally, approximately .032*. In connection with grounding and reported oil leakage, tailshaft was disconnected, drawn in, examined including magnetic particle inspection and tailshaft found satisfactory. Prior to drawing shaft, the stem bearing was tested hydrostatically with head of oil and no apparent leakage found. Subsequent to drawing shaft and after removal of oil seals, the outboard seal was found fractured in several locations in way of inner lip with evidence of some overheating and presence of foreign matter apparently due to grounding and subsequent refloating efforts. The inner and outer seals were renewed after installation of tailshaft, tailshaft reconnected, propeller wedged on, void spaces filled with rust inhibitor and all left ready for sea.
