I will be replacing my flax packing and would like to replace it with Drip-less moldable packing or the Gore GFO Fiber dripless packing. Has anyone had any experience with either one of these packings? I do not want to go with PSS shaft seal.
I just did it on my 28.5. There was a plastic washer beteen the nut and the packing which was a pain to get out. The rest was a basic re-packing job. Can't comment on how well it works yet but others haave been happy with it.
On my third season with drip-less, see the LINK below. Put the boat in the water in April, started her up, put her in gear and saw NO drips. On my H37C I could not get very much of the "putty" between the two flax rings, probably the equivalent of two one-quarter inch packing rings. But it does not drip and the shaft does not get hot. Just had this discussion with a Florida friend two days ago. We agreed, we do not want something back there out of sight that can fail.
