Another advantage of fiberglass vessels is their low maintenance requirements. Unlike wooden boats that require regular upkeep and refinishing, fiberglass vessels can be easily cleaned and maintained with simple soap and water Unlike wooden boats that require regular upkeep and refinishing, fiberglass vessels can be easily cleaned and maintained with simple soap and water

Among the most common causes of oil seal failure are:
What are Oil Seals, and How Do They Work?
Silicone compounds or “VMQ” offers a wide range of traditional operating temperatures starting at -60°C to 200°C (-140°F to 392°F).
As shown in Figure 1, sealing devices come in two types: contact and non-contact.
Oil seals are among the major contact type sealing devices.
Viton (FKM/FPM) Oil Seals
Operating temperatures for engine oil seals (see Fig. 14.11 and cross-section of lip seal with garter spring in Fig. 14.22) vary widely, depending on engine design and location within the engine. Typically, the rear crankshaft seal is subjected to much higher temperatures than the front seal. Oil sump temperatures vary considerably, depending on provisions for oil cooling. This allows use of hydrogenated nitrile (HNBR), silicone, or acrylic elastomers for some seals in relatively low-temperature environments (120–140°C or 250–284°F). Standard fluoroelastomers (FKM), bisphenol-cured VDF/HFP/TFE terpolymers with 68–69% fluorine content, perform well in oil service up to about 160°C (320°F). More resistant fluoroelastomers are necessary for reliable long-term performance in more severe environments.

Does it mean the seal stops the leakage completely? Well, on the practical grounds yes because there is no ‘visible leakage’.
