What do you guys think of the 'hi tech' dripless packing material that Catalina Direct sells? I'm going to haul out for bottom paint soon and am considering using that stuff.

If it's the Goretex/Teflon type material it's not quite drip less. I'd call it low drip. It's a great material and does an excellent job. It does still require a seep of water when the shaft turns.

As the name implies, It's drip LESS, not no drip.

It's available everywhere and probably can be purchases at less cost than from Catalina.
