Thank you for your response...I agree that replacing it is a prudent
thing to do.
However, I am looking for a more definitive answer as to the prudent
frequency of replacing it, e.g. # of engine hours, # of years, etc. What
is the normal expected life span of the this hose/gland that seals the
prop shaft from water egress?

Change it on your next haul out. It is peace of mind.

My C&C 32 has a 1" prop shaft. Where it enters the stern hull before
the packing gland, there is a hose gland approximately 6" to 10" long
with several large adjustable clamps around it that covers the
prop shaft.
How often should that hose gland be replaced? Is it # of engine
hours,
# of years, etc. Replacing it after it ruptures could be
impossible if
the boat sinks which i understand to be the case.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
