| What type of packing do I need to order for the prop shaft inside the log, also the rudder shaft. Also what size would be helpful. Thanks |

It's ether 3/16" or 1/4". CC used both. Remove the packing nut and measure. I as well as many other members have been having very good results with the GFO packing. I buy it in 20' lengths from McMaster but they do have smaller quantities. Skidim also has it but at 10 times the cost!!  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Quarter inch 4 the Rudder and Three sixteenths 4 the Prop Shaft. 20 feet ??? OMG !!! Pete, That's enough packing for you to become the new "Marty" My personal fav is the White Teflon. |

| Thank you for your help. I have an open bow bayliner capri with an outboard, so this boat is a whole new animal that I am taking on. |

Good question Pete. The White Teflon is good for over 7600 rpms The GFO is more than double The White Teflon will withstand slightly higher pressure. |
