PSS shaft seal on a E28

[Special K]

I am thinking of installing a PSS shaft seal on my 1986 E28. My questions are these:

Does anyone have one installed on a E28?
Did you need to drop the rudder to install it?
Any special issues in the install?
If installed by a yard, how much did it cost installed?
Did anyone install it themselves?

I got a quote that seems high and I need a reality check before deciding how to move forward.

Thanks for the information and advice.

I like them. Some folks don't. Theoretically I have a dry bilge--unless it rains.

Somebody's gotta get the rusty shaft coupling off and back on. I think I could do it, but it might take some time. Boat yards charge a lot for time.

Yes it is significantly difficult work to get that rusty coupling off!!! I did it in the last couple of weeks. PITA
