I've never used the stuff sold by CatalinaDirect. I recommend GFO
gore-tex packing. It looks like it's easier to use than what
CatalinaDirect is selling, it's absolutely dripless, it's cheaper,
and it's nearly indestructable. Here's a link to their site: http://
www.emarineinc.com/products/gfopacking/packing.html. I've been using
it for 5-6 years in my C-27 and I love it, and it lasts a very long
time.

Anyone have any experience with the Drip-Less Stuffing Box Packing
Kit offered on Catalina Direct?
Just bought Stars & Stripes this summer. Previously very little
experience with an IB diesel like the M18 Universal. My old boat
was a CAL 22. Somehow at the end of the season my prop shaft/
coupling lost its key. While I’m down there working on it, I
thought it might be wise to repack the stuffing box. Saw this kit
on Catalina Direct. Any thoughts you guys have on the topic would
be appreciated.
