I want to service my stuffing box. I noticed when I backed off the retaining nut the rubber hose spins on the shaft log. It moves pretty easily, no matter how much I crank down the two hose clamps on the aft end of the hose. Should Some kind of sealant be added where the hose secures to the log.
As far as I know the hose didn’t leak but it is possible. I know the stuffing box leaked more then desired and it was cranked down hard.
