What a friendly, relaxed, straightforward manner you have. Thanks for sharing your experience. 👍

Nice one. There are so many smart arses who think they are television presenters. You are easy to watch and to listen to. Thank you!

Wow! That was way less scary than I expected! Thank you for sharing!

Man. I just lunched my boat today and water started pouring. After a milf heart attack i stumbled on this video. Thank you for saving my boat!!! I’m a rookie and just getting to know boats. One question: How do you adjust to the correct position? Should I be looking for something? Is there a rule of thumb. Once again THANK YOU!!!!

Bolox to any one who complains about the incessant yapping, go sone where else! You are supposed to find out how to do this operation, before starting to do it!! 😂🤣 Thank you kindly young Sir for sharing.

Excellent video. Very informative. Thanks for explaining in such great detail. I have a large power boat, but this helped me with what I need. I'd rather you over explain, where I can fast forward if I need to, then to skip over a detail that you may think is not important.

OMG a twenty-three minute video with ten minutes of excellent information. I thank you for the excellent info but could have lived without all the repetition.

A GOOD TIP IF YOU HAVE TO MUCH WATER COMING IN THE BOAT; Roll up a cigar size with play doh, then roll it with saran rap. Go in the water and stuff it between the shaft and the inlet of the opening. That will slow down the water from coming in the boat.

Everything that you talked about were things that needed to be said. Looks like you had enough space to add another piece of packing.

I absolutely loved everything about you. Great video from an articulate down to earth guy. God bless

Thank you so much for the step by step we referenced this a lot because we were forced to address ours to reduce a bad drip to an old '84 Catalina 30

Estoy maravillado con tu manera demostrarme algo que me preocupaba y aterroriza. Tengo una pequeña gotera en el eje y no sabía cómo hacerlo. Soy mecánico de automóviles, pero he comprado un bote y tengo mis dudas en las reparaciones más específicamente marinas. Tu video me despejó dudas, aunque no sé si estoy preparado para hacerlo con el bote en el mar.¿como puedo mandarte un video con mi eje y su goteo? Un abrazo y gracias por tu trabajo de información.

Thank you. Used this today. Went great.

Thanks for this helpful video! 👏🏻

Thanks for the video. I am getting ready to do a 1972 Islander 36. There is an electric motor as main. I pumped grease into the shaft bearing and improved efficiency by 25 amps draw. I plan to do the packing glad lube because I want to see if its dry and causing more drag on motor.

Thanks for the awesome video. I am considering going to a dripless shaft seal and this might sway me stay with the tried-and-true.

Appreciate you brother. Thanks for the tutorial!

On my 1981 Hunter 27 you have to slide engine forward and remove the coupling from drive shaft to get enough gland cap clearance to access packing,,

I agree with the previous comment. Good video and a very "yappi" manner of telling the story... Many thanks and fair winds! Maybe see you on water...) Sailboat "Alla"

Great info explained well,thanks.

Nice presentation.

Appreciate you!

Thanks. Very informative

Thank you for the video We just bought a 1994 sea ray 400ex and the starboard packing is leaking at a steady pace. Going to attempt this asap

thank you for shareing

I don't mind your long winded style at all. I kind of like it... relaxing in a way. Never thought to use the coal chisel technique. I have heard people use heat to loosen the stuffing box. Your thoughts about a heat gun as a persuader if necessary? Currently, my boat drips once every 25 seconds, after sits for a day or two. I bought a 27ft Catalina 1986 two years ago. 200 hours on a new Westerbeke. Thanks much.

How do you work the nuts when the shaft needs to have water to be lubricated? Thanks Henry

I looked through the comments and did not see. What is the name of the blue grease. Sintef center? Reading the transcription did not help either

After being in a submarine wet trainer, this was a real yawner, but very very informative, I may be doing this in a couple of hours, whilst parked in the haul out hoist area.

Good music too!

Not so bad. nothing the pumps cant keep up with BUT how do you adjust it? how much water should come in to keep it cool when it is right? Are we talking DRIP Mississippi DRIP or more than that

Hey I just bought my first sailboat, I did the through hulls and most of thebplumbing and electrical. I completely forgot to do the stuffing box but we'll I had them put my boat in the water yesterday and noticed a small drip coming from the stuffing box here but it's not as easily accessible. I've watched this video twice and it looks easy enough but I was wondering if there was anything I should do for peace of mind

Thanks for the info. I’ve been wondering about doing it in the water. I recently bought a ‘69 Hughes 38 and I don’t know when the packing was last done. Planning to haul out this winter so I’m going to wait till then if possible but I was wondering about doing it in the water if I had to. What type boat is that?

Charlottetown your video when I first bought my Carver when I moved it it started sinking and friend that knew about it show me the trick

7:07 Why not use a pipe wrench or an adjustable?

great video ... super chill vibe ... buying 42 Pearson - 1st sailboat in a while - owner says the westerbeke 58 is overheating - any ideas? ... is the westerbeke 58 = perkins 4-108? ... amazing resource you are providing - THANK YOU

This will stop a leaky shaft seal?

If you had to replace the actual packing what brand to you recommend also what the brand of that grease

Hi would like to know it you could make video on how to change filer on electric fuel lift pump , 21 westerbeke diesel thank you .

But turn sound of lot good stuff

Do you alway use tools that hack up the nuts?

So let me get this straight: The bigger the shaft, the wetter it will be?

Where did ya pick up that boat a thousand miles away? Also, are ya willing to shoot up to the North East and give me a hand with my boat? 😜👍

Would've been nice to spell out the grease info.

Very grateful for the info but man alive verbal diarrhea is plain annoying

Are these talking videos I know how do that

Less talk, a lot of work.

Too much yapping is right. If you own a boat and you need someone to explain to you what packing and a packing nut is, then you shouldn't own a boat.

Play at 1.25 speed since the pace is painfully slow

22 minutes of pontificating banter, one and one half minutes of actual repair?

Wanted to like your videos you have good information but you just talk way too much.
