They are essentially bomb-proof. Sure, they drip and require the occasional adjustment but other than a split shaft log hose or over-tightening resulting in running dry and scoring the shaft, they work well. Dripless packings are fine for many and they have their supporters. There are several listers that have them and swear by them. I personally know of two boats that have had problems with them. They have their pros and cons. It's your choice. Dennis C.

Now that my new props shaft and prop are ready for the electric motor install, I noticed my stuffing box packing nut is out of round on the inside, so my friendly chandlery guy says this means the stuffing box itself has “ovulated” and I need to replace the whole shooting match so, what says the list? Then, if this was indeed so, traditional vs. dripless? What are the recommendations this time around? I recall years ago a long thread on this, so if no one wants to re-hash it, point me to the source for reading myself.
