Rudder Stuffing Gland
The rudder stuffing gland is part of the assembly where the rudders emerge from the bottom of the yacht. The shaft
stuffing gland should not leak any water. If a leak develops, it can usually be stopped by tightening the packing gland
nuts slightly. Do not over tighten the packing gland nuts. If stuffing gland leakage becomes excessive, packing
replacement can be performed as follows:
1. Remove the yacht from the water.
2. Loosen the packing gland nuts and back the packing gland from the sleeve.
3. Remove the old packing.
4. Wrap new packing around the shaft.
5. Cut the rings with a razor blade at an angle approximately 30 degrees to the long axis of the shaft.
6. Stagger the ends of each ring around the shaft and insure that the rings are at the bottom in the sleeve.
7. Tighten the packing gland nuts until resistance is felt.
