The page http://alberg30.org/maintenance/Steering/AccessToStuffingBox/ 
shows how I access the rudder stuffing box on Calypso, #543. And I 
really like the moldable dripless packing described on 
http://alberg30.org/maintenance/MechanicalPropulsion/StuffingBox/  Years 
ago I used one container to do both the prop shaft and rudder stuffing 
boxes.
