Since it's a 69, I'd say it's due for a stuffing box repack. The procedure is the same as doing a prop shaft repack. ------------- /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 < |

| Not so fast, Pete... it *might* need to be repacked, or the port may need to be re-sealed. It all depends on the source of the leak. |
