Shaft skirt

This is a skirt meant to surround a 1/4" vertical shaft to help protect a lower element, such as a bearing, from water ingress. It is a split design to allow installation on a shaft if the ends of the shaft are not available for the skirt to be slid onto the shaft. It uses 2 #2 1/4" long self tapping screws to fasten the two halves together. It is recommended to apply a small amount of silicone sealant between the two halves and around the shaft.
