Put a tie wrap around the trigger projection that's inside the jaws to hold it triggered and now your back to a standard set up. Now you'll both types to choose from. Some wipping or lashing would probably work also and be easy to change back. On Fri., Mar. 13, 2020, 4:08 p.m. Bruno Lachance via C

Mine used to drip at a similar rate when at the dock (well, mooring), although I always left my bilge pump on (with a float switch). It dripped a lot more when underway. After repeated adjustment I couldn't get it any better so at the last haulout I changed out the packing. Now doesn't drip at a

Hi Bruno, I have done foredeck on several boats. Both end-o's and dip pole, I like the triggers for dip pole but I don't feel that they would be any advantage at all for end for end. And on 35' and smaller boats you definitely want to be doing the end-o's. I suggest to keep it simple and stick with

I use a PYI system and have not had a water leakage at the shaft.  The water I get in the bilge is coming down the mast, because I mounted a hard vang as low as possible to the cabin top.  Mistake because found it almost impossible to seal.  However the seal I use does limit that problem until

FWIW, The previous owner of my boat wired the bilge pump to a fuse to the hot bus. There is a float switch but no manual switch to accidentally turn it off. I close all the seacocks before leaving the boat and the shaft gland doesn't leak except when I first launch. It drips very little then

I don’t have and never have had an auto bilge pump. I would have to let the boat sit a month or two for water to be a real issue and that comes from rain down the mast. I have a carbon face seal on the shaft that does not drip. Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I www.dellabarba.com From: Cn

I leave my bilge system on 24/7/365. My Rule bilge float switch failed last year. I wanted to replace it with an Ultra Safety Systems switch. That switch had a week delivery time. I bought and installed another Rule as a temporary measure. Then when the USS switch came in, I drove 8 hours ro

Hi Charlie, I replaced ours with flax/teflon packing about 4 months ago.  It does not drip at all at the dock, and drips slightly underway.  I can check the temperature of the stuffing box itself underway both by putting my hand on it (though the idea of having my hand near a spinning shaft does

My stuffing box leaks at the dock about one 'drop' per ~ 18 seconds.  For fire safety reasons, I never leave my bilge pump on when I am away from the boat so this leak rate plus possible other leaks lets water accumulate in the bilge.  What do the listers consider an acceptable leak rate when at
