[Alberg30] Rudder Shaft stuffing box

[Tom Sutherland]

Bill, 

I am not sure what size the rudder post nuts are but will climb up in
the boat tomorrow and try to measure them. 

I expect you will need two wrenches which will adjust to the 2 to 2 1/2
inch range. 

If you plan on replacing the packing you will need to have the correct
size. I would guess that is either 3/16 or 1/4 inch but have not ever
replaced the rudder shaft packing on my boat. Maybe someone else could
help here.
