Rudder shaft packing size

Post by Rawleigh »

I may have to add another layer of packing in my rudder stuffing boxes, but cannot remember what size packing to buy. Mine are factory 1966 rudder stuffing boxes. Thanks.

yeah, I'm going to have to do that too on my 28 - I noticed my port side was dibbling.

Rawleigh -

I put 1/4 inch in mine, 73. Same size for the shaft stuffing boxes also.
