I have to agree with this comment. Too many manufacturers who are trying to promote their products rely on an individual talking and that is it. A much better video would be showing the actual various steps, even if it were done on a model representing the various components rather than a real world application.
The Max-Prop is just a piece of metal under the water. You need to protect it with an anode just like you would any propeller. The Max-Prop has a zinc at the aft end to assist in protecting the propeller from corrosion. If you disconnected the shaft from the bonding system, you still may have stray current from the water around the boat; this may be more or less than before. You will need to check the consumption of anodes often to get a feeling for how they are consumed.
Hello Bruno. After reviewing the Volvo shaft seal installation manual, I was not able to determine any notice that it cannot be used with the flexible coupling. I did, however, see that it requires the shaft to be centered in the tube. The flexible coupling should not change the alignment of the shaft in the tube. If you would like to reach out to me directly to discuss this, please give PYI Inc. a call. -Miles
It would be great to see a video of the installation being done on a boat.

Hi, Can I use a Volvo shaft seal with your coupling? Volvo say don't use a "flexible" coupling
