Hi All,
I have seen the topic of packing box nut size raised, but not answered, in the forum. Getting There is in Antigua but I am in Connecticut, and I can't measure the stuffing box nuts until I get back. Buying a good stuffing box wrench down there is quite difficult. All that Budget has for sale are cheap adjustable wrenches that flex with pressure. I'd like to bring a fixed size wrench with me when I return.
I read that a 2 5/16" nut goes with a 1 1/4" shaft for Buck Algonquin Packing Box Wrenches on the Defender web site. But it would be great if anyone could confirm the size of the nut on a IP370 or any other boat with a 1 1/4" shaft, I guess.
TIA,
Steve
