Hello and thanks for taking the time to read and respond. I’m a new owner of a 1986 C&C 33 mk2. My stuffing box is leaking/dripping. I’d say a drip every 3 seconds. I’m going to try and see if I can tighten it, but I briefly tried and it was very difficult…maybe due to corrosion. Plan is to try again after some PB Blaster or other compound to assist in loosening. I don’t know when the stuffing was replaced previously.
Looking for some help in selecting the correct stuffing/packing size. I believe you select the diameter of the packing material according to the shaft size??? Many thanks for the help, any suggestions would be appreciated.
