alternative to stuffing box?

Are there any other options to pass a drive shaft thru the hull?
The Drive is a 5hp electric motor, and I really dont want the headache and maintenance of a stuffing box. Are there any other alternatives? Like a stuffing box with bearings? and sealed with grease or oil?
thanks for any help or guidance
