Ditto Joe's experience. Mine is the older version which has to be "burped" after launched to release the air trapped in the shaft log. The more recent versions have a vent that must be led above the waterline.

Now that my new props shaft and prop are ready for the electric motor install, I noticed my stuffing box packing nut is out of round on the inside, so my friendly chandlery guy says this means the stuffing box itself has “ovulated” and I need to replace the whole shooting match so, what says the list? Then, if this was indeed so, traditional vs. dripless? What are the recommendations this time around? I recall years ago a long thread on this, so if no one wants to re-hash it, point me to the source for reading myself.
