Propeller Shaft Stuffing Box

The stuffing box is designed to prevent water from coming through
the through-hull fittings. These are found on the propeller shaft
where the shaft goes through the hull and where the rudder comes
up through the bottom of the boat. These devices contain a
lubricated fibrous packing that acts as a seal.

Check the propeller shaft stuffing box frequently for excessive
leakage. The engine must be off. A leaking rate of a few drops per
minute is acceptable and expected for proper lubrication. Raise the
engine cover and remove the storage bulkheads. If you see a steady
stream of water or an excessive drip rate, return your boat to your
Correct Craft dealer for service.

Non V-Drive Models

1. You will need two pipe wrenches, 12" of .032 gauge stainless

steel safety wire, flat blade screwdriver and wire cutters. Remove
the engine cover. Remove the floorboard between the engine
cover and the stern seat.
