In Response To: dripless shaft seals? (Mack)

I replaced my packing this past spring with the GFO dripless packing. It was inexpensive(under $30) and is what the military is using or so the claim goes. What I do know is this--follow the directions exactly--(As soon as it is snug--stop tightening the shaft log) It may drip a little the first few days--after that--dry bilge--I am sold on this product. I put 360 hrs on this set up this season--no adjusting--Plus a lot more reasonable than putting in new Logs etc--- This is made by the makers of Goretex---and unlike rope wax---it does not break down. If you need a source let me know
Good Luck
