You should regularly maintain your boats shaft sealing material ( gland packing) to avoid costly repair jobs or even more disastarous events.

Regular maintenance for boats stern glands is often overlook and this leads to leakage problems and worse still , damage to the propeller shaft itself

You should regularly change your boats stern gland packing as well as part of a regular maintenance programme . Packings have a set lifespan by the way they are designed to work meaning it does need to be changed periodically . Once they are past there usuable timeframe they then can actually start to cause problems and damage to your propeller shaft and uncontrolable leakage . And remember , its all that stands between your boat floating or sinking . So include it in your maintenance schedule.

Packing also becomes embedded with sand and silt particals from the water and these abrade against the shaft like sandpapaer and is also a good reason to change it as part of maintenance, even if its still seems to be going ok as you cant see this type of shaft wear till its too late.

New packing costs little in comparison to what a new shafts and haulout fees will cost. You could end up spending thousands and thousands of dollars in repair costs by not maintaining this important part of your boats drivetrain.

For the cost of what is really only pocket money you can have peace of mind and its also inexpensive enough to carry a spare pack just in case a problem occurs at sea or to have on hand next time you haulout .
