Greetings,
I have to replace the packing gland stuffing material on the 5411 diesel in my 1981 E 28+. I recently read about a newer material manufactured by the Gore company of Gore-Tex fame. Has anyone tried this versus the standard flax material? I also do not know if the stuff has to be bought in a size specific to
your shaft or engine? Anyone with experience on this fix on this boat I would love to hear from. Much thanks,
Phil Schofield
