Ok, now I see – my rudder shaft and main shaft are the same size. 1.5″. So the packing for both is identical. My friend got the batteries from Interstate – 6 V golf cart batteries. http://interstatebatteries.com

Hi Bob–

I don't know about changes in diameter; however, my prop shaft is 1 1/2″ and takes 1/4 ” packing. The rudder shaft is larger diameter, so it takes larger packing, and I used 5/16 with no problem(ie no leaks!).

hey, any news on golf cart batteries? I'm going cruising in a couple of weeks and need to replace two 6 volt batts.

Thanks!
btw, how did you make out with the bad weather the day you left?

Rodd
