"Any one else with an early 80's 34' and a 1 inch shaft want to tell
what size packing they use."
Don,
I have 1984 C&C 32 with a 1" prop shaft....typical stuffing
box....replaced with 3/16"....3 strands....first two strands went in but
when I put in the 3rd strand, I couldn't not thread the nut....too
tight....so I took out the 3rd strand and put the nut on and tighten it
to compress the first two strands and then put the 3rd strand back in
and I could then put the nuts together.
My point is 3 strands of 3/16th on my 1" shaft is what worked for me.
Any particular reason you used 1/4' packing and not 3/16th?
