In Response To: GFO Packing (Sean Burlingham)

I let my local yard repack me shafts and rudders with the gfo in april 04. I immediately had problems with the shafts leaking badly. I took the boat back twice to let a "proffesional" adjust them. The problem persisted throughout 04.
I went dripless when I reshafted the boat last spring and no more problem. The rudders had also continued to leak although to a much lesser extent. I will be repacking those with flax this spring before refloating. My experience with the gfo was such that I wont be trying it again. My pumps cycled regularly. As UV says the enemy of good is better.
