The newer packing material is GFO Gore-Tex dripless packing. Did not experiment
it yet, but I might next spring.

I have used the PYI Shaft Seal on three different boats over 20 years.
I do follow PYI’s recommendations for maintenance and bellows replacement
(every 5 years?).
If you go with a traditional stuffing box, I have read very good things about
the newer, lower drip and friction packing materials.

Subject: Stus-List Now on to STUFFING BOXES
Hello all again!
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.
