(8) Propeller Shaft Packing Gland:
When the engine Is running and In gear, there should be a few drops of water coming out of
the gland or else the packing locknuts are too tight and will burn up.
A drop of sea water every 10 ~ 20 seconds is standard, so adjust the locknuts.
At moorage, you may tighten the iocknuts to stop the leakage BUT DO NOT FORGET TO
ADJUST THE LOCKNUTS BEFORE YOU START THE ENGINE.
Replace the packing at least once a year.
Be sure you get SQUARE CUT WAX IMPREGNATED FLAX PACKING, of 4.8 mm/3/16 inch
and that It Is NOT WOUND AROUND THE SHAFT but cut to form three single rings which are
"stacked" on the shaft so that the cuts are staggered.

Every 1 year Gland packing
Every 2 years Fuel filter hose
