[Public-List] Packing Gland

[John Birch]

I've heard of some of those styles of new glands (don't know which) seizing 
and ripping themselves off the stern tube, imagine that lovely scenario .... 
blub blub blub

I'm sticking with the 1/4" old packing technology, now square the yards, 
beat to quarters and run out the guns ; )

Best

John
