I have a friend who just recently purchased a 1976 Catalina 27, standard rig,
Atomic 4, etc. Not ever having to deal with the packing gland (Mojito is an OB),
there is a lot of water coming in around the propeller shaft and a major concern.
Can the packing gland be replaced with the boat in the water? If not, how do you
tighten the packing until he can get it out of the water?
Phil, are there any tech notes in the archives about this?
Any advice would be appreciated and I will foreward your comments to him.
I am attempting to get him signed up for this list so he can ask for himself
