I have two of these on board.....easier to work with than ordinary pipe
wrenches although I have tightened with pipe wrenches.

First sail/journey of the year. Bedford to Deep Cove in Mahoney
Bay - approx 50 nautical miles.
Left Bedford Yacht Club and motored out thru Halifax Barbour,
around Chebucto Head and through Samboro passage - minimal wind
and dead on the nose.
Quite pleased with motor overall. I replaced a broken engine mount
and the new one (a generic mount I modified to fit) was way
better. Engine needs to be re-aligned - hopefully that will
decrease vibration even more. Advice appreciated. I've read about
it - difficult?
On arrival my stuffing box was dripping a fair bit. Little more
than 1 drop per second
Tried to tighten but couldn't separate the 2 nuts. Sprayed a
little PB Blaster - but I'll need a second wrench to counter with
rather than spinning whole unit.
Any suggestions? Are locking pliers OK?
