Mike tackles the leaking shaft seal while we were in the water. The internet recommended doing this repair on the hard, but we went for it!
For entertainment purposes only.
Mike pulls out the old packing in the shaft seal (stuffing box) and replaces it. The drip into the boat was steady and this was not a repair he had done before. Scary times!

Thanks for sharing, I have the same model vessel and need to change my flax packing this weekend on the starboard side. Its dripping about 6 drips a min when sitting still. Love your videos!

Use emergency tape to stop the incoming water until you are ready to put it back on

Time for a PYI Dripless Shaft Seal

@throwaway6436 3 месяца назад

How many drips per minute does the new packing have when the engine is off/ shaft is not spinning?

@MikeandGayleAdventure 3 месяца назад

We haven’t counted, but we think it’s maybe one or two.

Do you think 2ft is enough for 3 wraps of both shafts?

@MikeandGayleAdventure Год назад

That doesn't sound like quite enough. 2 ft will wrap 3 times around 2 shafts if the shaft is 1.1 inches or less (diameter). I would recommend measuring the circumference of the shaft before you tear anything apart to make sure you have enough material. Good luck!
