Re: Rudder Stuffing Box Packing Material
Danny and Yvonne SIMMS
Hi Karen, I wrap the length around the rudder shaft and cut it on the diagonal. An alternative is to find a tube the same diameter and use that for your cutting template. I would not use a straight cut. Also when you fit the rings stagger the cuts. It doesn't need to be perfect to the mm as the crush effect on tightening seals it aided by the diagonal cut which by its very nature helps the seal, that's why the diagonal cut is the recommended method. I have never had problems with initial leaking, once installed that is it. Regards Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl
