One problem I found when repacking my 93SN was when I cut my packing to length I wrapped the rope around the rudder then cut to length. When I placed my pieces in the nut I found they were all a tad to short because the nuts outside diameter was slightly bigger. I had to cut four more pieces about 1/8 to 3/16" longer. I guess I should have cut one and checked. It's sealed up really nice now...no leaks.
I hope this helps,
Glen

I'll second Glen's method. Cut them a little extra long & 'pack' them in!
