water leaking by rudder stuffing box! I need to repack, but never had to do rudder one before, Is it same as main engine stuffing box? how do I measure for correct flax packing? thanks Tomy:???:
Should be exactly the same method. Yarn out the old stuff, throw in the new, tighten and have fun. Just wrap your packing around the shaft and carefully cut with a razor blade.
Or you could do the down east trick and put in a grease fitting
