so, i was looking at my stuffing box and found the hose and clamps could probably use replacing. i have discovered that this will be more work than i expected.
my engine is still installed(a4) my original plan(lmao) was to undo the coupler loosen the prop shaft, slide it back towards the rudder(whick i have removed). loosen the stuffing box and remove from the prop shaft, slide the hose and the rust which used to be clamps off the shaft log and repl it, then assemble in reverse order.
well...... the best laid plans......
my prop shaft isn't sliding out of the coupler,any thoughts and ideas? i really dont want to remove the engine!
second, i noticed that my prop shaft is not in the center of my shaft log- which appears to be some type of fiberglass extruded tube. any thoughts and ideas?
i could really use some ideas from some of you that know more about this than me..
