John.
All good ideas..
Looking closely at the image I see the following issues that develop questions.
The single clamp appears to be rusting around the nut. I would replace that one with two new ones.
the previous owner used a caulk on the nylon fitting and the hose. I have not see that on boats I have worked on. Hopefully not 5200.
the white duct or hose has rust on the shaft side. It appers that the white hose or pipe has a wire running through it. The shaft has some grooves worn into it. Could they be in contact?
you mentioned a “less expensive “ BRASS” packing gland could be purchased. You want BRONZE not BRASS.
This task is tedious but not over whelming. Best done out of the water. Less stress on the owner.
