Thank you, Phil
?
Bought 8" of stern tube from RE Thompson in Handcock Maine.? They are an amazing marine machine shop.? Gave the guy a $20 and he cut off a piece.??
?
My boat used exhaust hose.? The packing gland is 1.75 OD, the old stern tube a bit larger that 1.5 OD.? ?Purchase a new Buck Algonquin gland and pipe for 1.5 that matches the new 1.5" stern tube for the 1" staft.
?
Hopefully when this is all back together, I'll create a bit more space between the coupling and gland.? ?Currently it is amazingly tight.??
