      Start of attached email. Subject: STEERING STUFFING BOX ACCESS

      JOE & JOHN – good morning:
      When you serviced your leaky rudder shafts, was it necessary to remove the
      cross beam thru which the shaft passes and/or the ply platform aft of the
      shaft in order to access the stuffing box…or did you hire a midget?

      No, Bill, you should be able to get to the stuffing box under that beam. I
      found it easy if everything’s out of the aft lazerette and I sit on a
      cushion with my legs on one side or the other. It’s not fun, but it is
      doable.

      Bill,
      The stuffing box can be serviced (re-packed) under the cross beam. I have
      a NL 4.5KVA genset in the lazarette so it is very difficult on Sarah. I
      have hire a boatyard muchkin to do the work. My wide body doesn’t fit.

      Regards,
