[Public-List] Stuffing box wrenches. and access

[Bill Newman]

The stuffing box of No. 233 after many years with no drips, has this year developed a reasonably aggressive leak. I expect it was caused by running the engine on the hard for a short period with no water lubrication for the shaft. I had an Alberg manual which had drawings and specifications to fabricate the special wrenches required to tighten the stuffing box which at the moment I can't seem to find. I would appreciate it very much if someone could email me the wrench drawings and specifications. I am planning to cut an access panel in the port locker and find a person somewhat less beefy to go down there and tighten the nuts. Any advice will be appreciated.
