Ditto Joe's experience. Mine is the older version which has to be "burped"
after launched to release the air trapped in the shaft log.
The more recent versions have a vent that must be led above the waterline.

Alex,
I put in a dripless system 12 years ago. No a single issue with it. I would
do it again in a heartbeat. No muss, no fuss, and a dry bilge.

Subject: [SPAM]Stus-List Now on to STUFFING BOXES
Hello all again!
Now that my new props shaft and prop are ready for the electric motor install,
I noticed my stuffing box packing nut is out of round on the inside, so my
friendly chandlery guy says this means the stuffing box itself has “ovulated”
and I need to replace the whole shooting match so, what says the list?
Then, if this was indeed so, traditional vs. dripless? What are the
recommendations this time around? I recall years ago a long thread on this, so
if no one wants to re-hash it, point me to the source for reading myself.
