I just re-did mine, I measured the log and stuffing box to be 1-5/8. I bought 1-1/2 stuffing box hose and it slipped on (tight) no problem. I don't see that they sell 1-1/4 but that's what I would seek out.

Buck Algonquin has 1.25" stuffing box hose
This is an old thread but I have the same (small) stuffing box and shaft log issue with my E27...
I discovered that Buck Algonquin has 1.25" stuffing box hose but it was a special order item through Defender.

Useful to all the various sizes of shafts & packing glands & hoses is the table on this page from their web site

I'm not sure that Buck Algonquin packing boxes were used on the Ericsons from the factory, though. I think there are only one or two alternates that could have been; Groco perhaps. Anybody out there know what brand was used?

I'd swear I called over there a couple of years ago and was told they didn't have any. (The same week that "specialists" were telling me "Oh, nobody sells 3/4" drive shafts any more.") It looks to me as if a PO used 1.5" hose on mine and just clamped the S&*T out of it until it deformed/conformed to the log tube. Well... it doesn't leak. At this time.
I have had several conversations with people at Buck Algonquin during the past two weeks. Apparently, they have only been selling the 1.25" stuffing box hose for a couple of years.
I just bought a new 3/4" Aquamet 22 shaft from General Propeller in Florida for my E27. I'm very happy with the service, the machining, and the price...
