1992 Wellcraft St. Tropez or LX 3200. need to replace the rudder stuffing box blocks for the rudder shaft on the inside of the hull old ones rotted and shaft moves. Using Star Board would like to know if anyone knows the angle of the hole needed for the rudder shaft for the inside stuffing box plate holding the rudder shaft?

I would use something much stronger than starboard for mounting stuffing boxes. starboard is nothing but HDPE. one step above a milk jug.

That's probably not something you are going to find. I'd recommend documenting what you have, and just duplicate it.

The starboard is between 1/4" plates of stainless steel. would no just use starboard alone.
