Hi Gerald, Here’s the link you need: http://www.pbase.com/mainecruising/stuffing_box
I had a 1972 C&C 27 and now a 35-II, which has a dripless PYI. You might know your shaft size, maybe 1”, but if you are looking for packing, it might not matter. You need to figure out the difference between the shaft and the glan. Likely 1/4”, and get something like this: https://www.fisheriessupply.com/duramax-marine-duramax-ultra-x <https://www.fisheriessupply.com/duramax-marine-duramax-ultra-x> On my C&C 27, I certainly couldn’t afford to haul out, to do this job, but most folks do. I carefully cut three rings of Gasp probably a WM gel packing material with a single edge razor blade, at a slant angle. Backed off the two nuts on the packing glan and put the three rings of packing on the shaft with the splices lined up at thirds. Working under the cockpit, with a corkscrew, a couple picks and a hooked coat hanger wire, I pulled the old packing out. Yes a few gallons of water poured in, but it takes a lot to sink a boat. Once it was all cleaned out, with the packing and nuts prepped, i just pushed the packing and nuts into place and tightened up the nuts. Actually it was pretty easy, just not recommended if you are claustrophobic, or afraid of drowning. . . 2 cents, Lee s/v Simplicity, a 1974 C&C 35-II in Seattle Lots of pics: www.leeyoungbloodphoto.com > On Apr 18, 2017, at 8:32 40PM, gerald field via CnC-List > <[email protected]> wrote: > > I am looking for information on the size of stuffing packing needed on my C&C > 30 any information will be welcome > Regards Gerald Field > _______________________________________________ > > This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
