On our former J/42 #3, we had a Drivesaver. We added a PYI dripless seal. The boat came that way so I am not sure if anything custom had to be done to get everything to fit originally. But I mention it in case switching to a PYI dripless seal might get you some more room.
Cheers,

Subject: [J/4X-owners] space for driversaver on J/42 with 3JH2TE
Searched a few of the lists, but can't find any info. I'm replacing the running gear on Hull #1 and wanted to add a Driversaver. But it looks like I am short .5-.75" in order to back the packing nut off enough to maintain the packing gland. Has anyone done this? Thinking I could cut back the stern tube a little bit and/or cut off 1/4 of the bronze packing tube. Seeking wisdom before I do anything too permanent. Many thanks.
Sean Conner - VIDA J/42 Hull#1.

Thanks Bill - I've been so used to maintaining the traditional stuffing box, but I gave the PSS dripless another looksee and think might be a better direction to go. Looks like an easy install. How was the "break in" period and where did you lead the vent hose?

On our J/46 we have the Volvo seal and I can attest that it is very simple (no vent hose and moving parts) and does not leak…better that drip “less” seals 😊 We replaced it last year after 20 years of trouble free use.
