I'm kinda late to this party and congratulations on your soon to be
pregnant stuffing box. Ovulating at this time of year? Must be
fertile indeed, but I guess in your area you are bedding the boats

I suspect the out of round was from a poor engine
I went dripless 4 years ago and love it, no fuss. When I had the shaft

it over the years, if I had re-fit that I would have needed to move the
packing to an undamaged section of shaft.

What Electric Motor/Battery solution did you go for? If you don't min

Alex,
I prefer the traditional stuffing box with Teflon packing. They are
essentially bomb-proof. Sure, they drip and require the occasional adjustment
but other than a split shaft log hose or over-tightening resulting in running
dry and scoring the shaft, they work well.

Now that my new props shaft and prop are ready for the electric motor install,
