Re: Stus-List Stuffing Box Packing Recommendation needed

[Russ & Melody via CnC-List]

These are purpose built packing pullers:

I have a few sets from the small to very large 
for doing pumps & valves. Only the small one is required for boat jobs.

A word of caution if you choose to use 
Goretex/Teflon packings... do not tighten the 
packing nut any more than necessary.
A time after we changed to these products at the 
plant there were numerous pump shaft wear sleeves 
ruined do to the gland being tightened as if it 
was old style packing (severe scoring). The word 
finally got around that mechanics should go easy 
on install and retighten the next run day or so 
to only that necessary. After a short run-in 
period these packings are really good.

It helps if you have access to some dentist’s

Have used GFO packing for years.  It seems to 
be better than the standard flax packing. Â

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.Â

Good luck

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.Â
And While a dripless seal would be great, it's not in the boat "budget".
Â
Any thoughts to share on preferred packing 
materials would be greatly appreciated.Â
