I went dripless 4 years ago and love it, no fuss. When I had the shaft
out I noticed that it was badly worn where the old packing had rubbed on
it over the years, if I had re-fit that I would have needed to move the
packing to an undamaged section of shaft.

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.
