The Stuffing Box Boogie
As you pull your boat out of the water for the Bellows and Packing
replacement....consider installing a Packless Sealing System (PSS)
Check out the PYI site (
www.pyiinc.com) for the dripless stuffing box.
The installation and modifications are a well worth the investment to have
a more reliable stuffing box and dryer bilge
Your shaft may need to be shortened or replaced to accomodate the new
PSS. Next haulout I will be installing the PSS, new shaft and pilot bearing.
Good Luck on your Projects /) /)
