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 .

Tax invoices are available by request

Postage discounts apply for multiple purchases .

Trade enquiries welcome on packing materials, as i stock various other types as well in merchandising packs .

Show Review: Art Center Car Classic 2007

Fri, 10 Aug 2007

For those of you who haven't yet attended, Art Center's Car Classic is rapidly becoming the talk of the concours circuit. Held during the middle of the summer trimester at the main Hillside campus in Pasadena, it was started just three years ago and is gaining quite a following not only because of its intimate setting in which to admire the cars but also because attendees rub shoulder-to-shoulder with a variety of current and past industry designers and celebrities. To this fellow automotive enthusiast and Art Center alumnus at least, the Car Classic likens itself most to Lord March's Festival of Speed and Goodwood Revival in the UK.
