[alberg30] Rudder Stuffing Box Access

[George Dinwiddie]

From: George Dinwiddie <gdinwiddie at min.net>

Rich,

I need to do the same job and had similar difficulties.  The
best advice I've gotten is to cut access through the plywood
panel in the port cockpit locker.  You can screw the panel
back in place when you're done.
