[Alberg30] Stuffing Box

[Bill Ydel]

Could someone please give me the proper procedure for tightening the
Stuffing Box. I ran the engine to get it warm this weekend and found the
stuffing box was not only dripping, but running in to the bilge. I got it
stopped but am now concerned that I got it too tight. Should it drip only
when in gear or all the time and how much?? Should I back off the nut until
it drips??
Thanks

Bill
