Not anymore and there has not been now for almost four or five years. PSS had too many problems with air becoming trapped in the seals. Contrary to the popular belief that you only need to burp at launch. There were many things including rough weather sailing and a quick burst of reverse that would force air up into the seal..
They have done away with slow speed seals and anyone installing one today will be getting a "vented" or "hose barbed" seal.. Like this one:
