The stuffing box is badly in need of repacking, but how do you get to the thing? Has anyone out there done this task?

Lay on the engine

Use padding to protect you, and lay on the engine. The other method is to remove the inboard panel of the quarter berth. (This is the one I used.) But the screws holding the panel to the bench/berth are even harder to reach than the stufing box, so you need other reasons to take this approach. (I was mounting soundproofing around the engine compartment.) David Lady Lillie
