Haven't been able to find an answer through search function. Does anyone know what size shaft packing/flax to use on a 1988 Cat 30 with the 29XP engine? Thanks

Most use 3/16". You can measure how big it needs to be by backing off the stuffing box. It should also be in the manual. There's a C30 association www.catalina30.org or dott com, plus perhaps a Yahoo or Google group.
