[Alberg30] stuffing boxes wrenches

[George Dinwiddie]

While tightening the stuffing boxes, today, I measured the nuts in
anticipation of making some stuffing box wrenches.  Unfortunately,
I'll have to make two pair.  On the engine shaft, the packing nut
measured 1-15/16" and the lock nut measured 2".  On the rudder shaft,
the packing nut and lock nut were both 2-1/8".

If anyone's measured theirs, or if you'll have an opportunity to
measure it, I'd like to hear about it.  It would be nice to know if
these are more or less standard sizes on the Alberg 30.  Be sure to
include your hull number with the measurements.
