Nice to have such a lovely mate. She makes it all worth while. Great job replacing the paking. Very satisfying to get it the first time...with no leaks !
I have done it twice in the water. My cutlass bearing sits in the hull in the tube sticking out just in the front of the prop. In this case I wrap bicycle hose around the shaft and then up onto the tube ending with a knot. Not a single drop of water comes in.
@@sailing-distant-seas Yes, I know but some one else might have use of the idea of bicycle hose. It's actually wise to have on board as it is useful for sealing leaks on tubes.

Yeah. Don’t know what we would have done if it leaked. And yes Vinni is worth all of it

Yes but we have an open tube as a thruhull. Little different
