Have used GFO packing for years. It seems to be better than the standard flax packing.
https://www.emarineinc.com/categories/GFO-Marine-Shaft-Packing Just make certain you get all the old packing out first. What should be a relatively simple task took me considerably more time than I had allocated - in other words, a fairly typical boat project. Good luck Brian From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of kelly petew via CnC-List Sent: Friday, January 01, 2016 10:55 AM To: cnc-list <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> Cc: kelly petew <kellype...@msn.com> Subject: Stus-List Stuffing Box Packing Recommendation needed Happy New Year to All!! I have a 30-2 and the stuff box was leaking noticeably all last season. While periodic tightening helped, I'm guessing it's time to renew the packing. And While a dripless seal would be great, it's not in the boat "budget". Any thoughts to share on preferred packing materials would be greatly appreciated. Pete W.
