Handles about a 2" nut.

Bedford to Deep Cove in Mahoney Bay - approx 50 nautical miles. Left Bedford Yacht Club and motored out thru Halifax Barbour, around Chebucto Head and through Samboro passage - minimal wind and dead on the nose. Quite pleased with motor overall. I replaced a broken engine mount and the new one (a generic mount I modified to fit) was way better. Engine needs to be re-aligned - hopefully that will decrease vibration even more. Advice appreciated. I've read about it - difficult? On arrival my stuffing box was dripping a fair bit. Little more than 1 drop per second Tried to tighten but couldn't separate the 2 nuts. Sprayed a little PB Blaster - but I'll need a second wrench to counter with rather than spinning whole unit. Any suggestions? Are locking pliers OK? Mark CS 30 Prosecco
