I am going on the hard now 1st of March and need to redo my starboard packing. Looks like they put a rubber hose inside the packing fitting hose to adapt the packing to the hull ??? Is this what they did back then? Boat was delivered with 327s but is reported to have 350s. Don't know if they actually bored the block or just bought stickers. The shafts are 1-1/4". There is very little room to remove the old packing. Is there a video on uncoupling the prop shaft and sliding it back? What special tools would help doing the job? O'Rielly Auto has tools you can use for free with a significan't deposite. My plan is to use The formable packing installed between the premium hi temp . The packing gland to shaft gap appears to be 1/8".

Wow thats a huge gap. My boat is a sedan hull #1 out of the Tennessee plant. They were still working out the interiors and weight balance. Very little room forward of the Q engine also.
