Preparing to add packing or re-pack both rudder shafts on 2004 Mainship 390. Shaft diameter is 1-1/2 inches. I haven't been able to remove the packing follower in order to measure the ID of the "stuffing box" due to very limited access. Is it safe to assume that I need 1/4 inch packing for this? Can anyone with this model year MS 390 verify the packing size? Also, any suggestions or recommended packing material for rudders would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
