Default Re: Putting the boat in the water?????

Flukey- I don't think the packing swells, it either fits properly or doesn't. Put the boat in and watch, a little dripping is normal, if there is too much the packing nut can be tightened, you have to loosen the lock nut first. If you have too much drip after the nut has been tightened, then you have to replace the packing.--Rich
