Oh no....here we go again....'tie bar' versus 'through bolt and now 'an
adjustable packing nut wrench' versus 'an adjustable slip nut
wrench'......I prefer the Home Depot version over West Marine because of
the price.....and I don't really care what the tool is called.

That's actually a plumbers slip nut wrench and what I used on my
recent repack......worked like a charm.
$3.36 @ Homedepot.

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

On the Buck Algonquin bronze stuffing boxes this works well:

Handles about a 2" nut.

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?
