I have a packless seal on my 1992 Hunter 30 that needs to be replaced, as it leaks all the time. My question is whether I should replace the Packless bellows or look at a Stuffing box in it's place. The boat is on a fresh water lake. Should I also replace the cutlass bearing while I am in there. Also, what head-ache will I have taking the Coupler off the shaft?
I have looked at receipts from the prior owner and I know he never had any maintenance on it. So between him and I, records I have go back 11 years.
Suspect it has never been updated. My goal is to take the boat out in late Feb or March to get this replaced.
Any/All information will be appreciated.
Thanks
