How tight for the rudder stuffing box gland nut? The steering isn't 1 finger any more. I think I overdid it. thanks, Rick ------------- Current: 1997 Nautique Previous: 1987 Nautique 1964 American Skier |

Whatever it takes to stop it from leaking. You could also try a 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 < |

That's a little hard to do on the trailer.. Might be a task I can perform after the upcoming splashdown.. thanks! ------------- Current: 1997 Nautique Previous: 1987 Nautique 1964 American Skier |

Raise the trailer tongue and put several inches of water in the bilge. Leaks work both ways.  Besides, it's always a good time to give the bilge a wash.------------- /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 < |
