Pearson 303 Stern tube?

[Rahab]

Hello all,
Fishing for info on Pearson 303-
Currently wintering away from Rahab and I'm preemptively ordering parts and material for spring maintenance.
One project due is PSS dripless maintenance kit. I know my shaft is 1" diameter, but when left on hard, I did not measure stern tube diameter

Anyone own or friends with a 303 owner?

Thanks!

So, if I used a 2” ID diameter hose , wouldn’t it make sense that the stern tube OD is 2”?
