e38 - 1981 - prop shaft stuffing box hose replacement

Looking for some advice on replacement of the prop shaft stuffing box hose. The original stuffing box and shaft log seem to be 1 5/8". The original stuffing box hose was 4 ply. The 1 5/8" does not seem to be a common size for stuffing box replacements so a new 4 ply hose does not seem to be available. I am wondering what others have done?

I do know PSS dripless packing is availbe for a 1 5/8" shaft log.

Regards
Greg

Greg,

Check the manual for the E38-200 in the resources section of this site. In the commistioning section towards the back they have detailed info on the stuffing box. (Rudder packing as well)

I replaced mine with the PSS, becuase P.O. repowered with a Perkins 4-108, which literally left no room for repacking.
