    Packing drive shafts

    Ok, this is my first boat with inboards and while it's out for the winter i wanted to repack the shafts and rudders. The rudders are pretty clear cut, you see the packing nuts and will be a breeze to do. The shafts on the other hand are different. The have no visible nut, but instead a rubber...
