      I just got paid with a west marine card (beats kittens or carrot cake)
      and that means more shopping!

      What size flax packing do we use on the rudder shaft?

      Adam-

      I used 3 rings of 3/8″ packing, and that was about 10 years ago. Some say
      5/16 is correct, but I like to use the largest size that fits.

      Packing for shaft lob is 3 rings of 1/4 in.

      This haulout, I'm using the correct size only the graphite impregnated one – for both the shaft and the rudder shaft.
