Re-Packing A Traditional Stuffing Box - Marine How To
The Stuffing Box (click any image to see a larger version) While digging around in some old boat parts boxes I found a stuffing box from an older sailboat. I though it would be a good time to rig it up

Same boat here: I use 3. It's pretty easy, once you get some decent wrenches. I bought 2:
Lichamp 12-Inch Wide Jaw Adjustable Stubby Wrench with 60 mm Jaw Opening for Plumbing Automotive and Industry, Black
and
ARES 70303-53mm Stubby Adjustable Wrench - Stubby, Ultra Thin Design for Quick Access to Tight Spaces - Mouth is 30 Percent Deeper than Normal Wrenches
