I noticed that my stuffing box has started leaking pretty badly and suspect
that the flax has never been replaced. I tightened it up once, but think
it's at it's end.
Does anyone know what size flax to use in the nut?
Thanks,

Returning to the dock, I ran the prop in reverse and heard a small “thud” from

A couple of BIG slip joint (Channelock) pliers will do the trick. The
infamous packing gland wrench (sink wrench) also works with one of the
aforementioned pliers.

What tools are the best to tighten the stuffing box on a 29-2. Also what is the
size of the packing? What packing should be used?___

is polished where the packing sits but other than that nothing to mention.

I will make a correction as wellI used 1/4" flax on a one inch
diameter shaft.three strands and placed as Rich said, at a 120 deg.
of each other. Maybe that was why I could not get the packing nut to
thread with the three strands in all at oncebecause I used 1/4" flax
Good correction Robert.
I should have said, "... will drip once per
minute..." (phew, metric still gets me sometimes :)
And yeah, this guy does a great job of presenting boat chores information.
Cheers, Russ

Bev, as for the size of the packing material, it depends on the diameter
of the prop shaft.as the article stated, I used three strands of

As I recall, packing should be put in in sections rather than in one spiral
piece. The method I used before getting a dripless seal, was to carefully cut
three rings of packing and insert them so the ring ends were rotated 120
degrees from each other, sort of like piston rings in an engine.

Hi Rick & Bev,
Good advice, except the repack. Packing loads
into the gland as segments, not as a spiral
wound. The direction of shaft rotation has nothin' to do with it.
I found this very nice explanation to pass along.

A 2 1/4" wrench will do the nuts as I recall, or use a couple of big pipe
wrenches. You'll have to measure the packing, mine was 5/16" teflon. I
crammed my corpus into that space, I'm sure you can.

HI Bev, I now have a dripless shaft, but in the past I have tweaked these.
It’s not complex. If you don’t need new packing you just tighten the gland to
a point where it is weeping at the rate you like. Channel locks or pipe wrench
will do the trick. This is not high stress wrenching but yo
What is the size of nuts on the stuffing box shaft? What size is the packing?
Does anyone know of a gnome or elf available for hire in Vancouver to tighten
the same?___
