Hi
My boat is an Ericson 38-200 1989 model, the leak is coming from where the rubber hose couples the propeller shaft tube {which is bonded to the hull} to the shaft gland assembly using 4 hose clamps, the owners manual for the E38-200 describes a stuffing box with 3 turns of waxed flax and packing nut assembly with a locknut, my boat is completely different with no stuffing box or locknut but has a rubber hose leading from the top of the propeller gland assembly up to the exhaust manifold.
Please help
Bruce
