John, I've read all the responses on tightening the packing gland. You do need 2 wrenches. After loosening the lock nut you only need to tighten the gland a small amount-maybe a 1/8 or 1/4 turn maybe more but do it in small increments. the best wrenches I found for doing this job are adjustable packing nut wrenches. Boat/US has them for about $10 each. Tom Schroeder Sabrina 158

> I think my propeller shaft is dripping too much. I'm not sure how to go about tightening the packing. It would appear there is a lock-nut aft of the tightening nut and that I would first back the lock-nut a bit and then tighten the other. Is this correct and can it be done by one person. There is an access plate in the cockpit sole directly above the packing nut and that is where I plan to get access. There is only room for one hand and I'm hoping I don't have to try to get in the compartment with two wrenches. Any help would be appreciated.
