Really appreciate the demonstration and all the additional bits of info.
Squeaky bum time when you pulled the outer sleeve out😉
Thank you, a good explanation & demonstration.
I always assumed you had to remove the old packing then put in the new, you learn something new every day
Mine is a real pig to reach, have to lay across the engine and can just reach the adjusting nuts with 17mm spanners.
Broke a rib last time i adjusted it so god knows how I will ever repack it
Very informative vid. Thanks 👍
Well Deck Diaries if the boat had been out of the water I would have removed the old packing first but not with it in the water. Thanks for watching Mark. The joys of the engine being way back.
new to your site and loving them well explained by both of you happy new year will be following all your future vlogs
Good evening, I did this kind of work regularly on big industrial pumps, I had a little trick I was crushing with a hammer a little bit too much, and the seal entered more easily
That gland didn't smile once. You might say, it was a very stern gland. LOL. sorry i couldn't resist.
While I don’t think i would do it in the water as I don’t have your experience, it was handy to watch and get a better understanding of how it works.
Very good you made it look easy think I will let a engineer do first one I use to do steam pipes and valves they was easy the heat sealed them
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
We specified a water-lubricated stern gland on our boat and, since installed two years ago, we haven't had a drop of water enter the boat (touch wood). One chap at the boatyeard has had one in his boat over 7 years and, similarlyy, hasn't had the least problem. Seems they are worth the extra cost.
great video, you said you had pre filled it with greece, where did you put it in and should i be carrying a grease gun with me?
if so what type of grease should i be using.?
Thanks so much fro a Bootneck with no idea.
I had re-filled the stern gland greaser just before this job and is shown in the Vlog before this one. Stern gland greaser is fitted to this type of gland and has a screw down handle.
Interested to know why you don't take out the old packing.
Painful to watch & you worked on warships !
No Golden Rivet?
How did you pack the other end with grease
We explain who we do it in the video
