I've finally got a dry bilge. I installed the GOF Teflon packing that I purchased from emarine.com. The best $15 I've ever spent on the boat. Replacing the packing was very simple to do using Stu's suggestion using a drywall screw to get out the old packing. I used a shop vac to remove the water from the bilge before installing the new packing and after two hours running, not a drop of new water. I'm really amazed. I've got to believe the condensation in the cabin is going to be reduced drastically. Anyway, I just wanted to highly reccommend this product. Sean
