Hello Maine Sail. I hope your sailing season is going well.
I have a quick question about my stuffing box. I had planned to repack before launch but didn't get to it before our launch date came up back in April. I believe it may be the original stuffing on our 2001 C310 but the boat only has 440 hours and from what I have learned about the PO, it rarely left the dock.
When not in use, it is leaking about a drip a second. In use there is a fair amount of spray.
So I am considering repacking in the water. Is this a bad idea?
Thanks for the help.
Jesse
