I have searched this forum and saw requests for stuffing box material size but no responses.  CR38 # 114.  Any Help?

With a 1 1/4 inch shaft I use 1/4 inch packing.

I use the Teflon impregnated it will last 6 years or more with some tightening as you go along.

Yep, 1/8" it must be, remember it was smaller than I thought it might be. It's been 6 years since I pulled the boat, it gets pulled this year. The Teflon packing is the way to go, just tighten it slightly each time you have too.

I think the 1/4" goes around the rudder post. I replaced that once.

The size of packing is easily calculated.  Just subtract the shaft diameter from the internal diameter of the shaft log and divide by 2.

If you have the old Buck Algonquin shaft log which was on many CR38s with a 1 1/4 inch shaft you use 1/4 inch packing.

Of course if you have a different shaft diameter or different ID on the shaft log then you will use differently sized packing.  

The quick question deserved a quick answer.  No need to complicate the obvious.

At the boat, 1/8 "for #19.

1/4 in #99 , @1895

[Alex Tarlecky]

yes - 3/16" for us on #117

I recommend getting one size higher and one size lower the first time, just to make sure you have the right size.

Then write it down in your log!

[jpcorri...@gmail.com]

Lots of trying but finally wound up with 1/8".  Thanks for your help all.  If needed I have several sixes not used for sale.  LOL
