Hello Paul, no it's not OK to replace the packing material while the boat is afloat. You would then have a strong water ingress while you're working for installing the new stuff. Do it while you do a new anti-fouling, unless you can't wait because you see alot of water coming in and the nylon nut is already all the way in. Then no other option than hauling-out. Good luck.

Hi Mark, thank you very much and roger that, I have now tightened it as your information but about a 1/2 turn as it was leaking a lot. So if I do need to replace the packing material I’m guessing you remove the nut to do this and this is ok while the boat is in the water? Kind Regards Paul
