Hi Russ,Thanks for the reply. It is all still new and I'm not launched yet.
so, I still need to adjust the packing nut after I launch. Good eye my friend!
I will do as you suggest. Seems reasonable. I was just concerned that maybe
the new packing wouldn't like the grease... Danny

Hi Danny,
Those grease caps are pretty handy when using flax packing... if it wasn't set
just right you could turn the grease cup and stop a drip without using wrenches
before leaving the boat. (Really important if boat on a mooring for awhile)
Your new packing likes a bit of exposure to water. I suggest packing the
grease cup but don't tighten it much.
Why is your gland locknut away from the gland nut? It should be tight against
the gland nut to prevent the gland coming apart and unloading your fresh
packing rings into the bilge... then you have a leak!
Cheers, Russ

Hello Again,
I'm ever nearing a launch my friends, and am in a bit of dis-belief!
Anyway, today's question is;
Given my stuffing box has a grease cap type grease fitting and I repacked using
Graphtex Ultra shaft packing, do I...;a. need to grease the fitting?b. if so,
do I just stuff some white lithium marine grease into it as best I can and then
fill the cap with it and screw it together?
Here is a link to a pic of the stuffing box (before I pulled the engine,
painted the compartment and installed the moyer)
ThanksDanny
