I stayed with traditional myself... I couldn't find anything to sway me to the dripless style and a fellow Viking owner I respect highly suggested I stay with the same one that was there. So I got a new hose, high quality hose clamps and new packing and followed the instruction on pbase.

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.
