Salt water in bilge

Ron,

After reading different posts on the subject I have decided to go with GORE.

I saw your post:

Norris : You can buy the Gore GFO packing at (410) 392-3200. You'll need 3/16" for a C34 and the cost is about $25 for 3 packing jobs. Find another C34 and split the cost. A number of us use it and I've found that it's easier to install, cheaper and holds up better that the West Marine stuff ( I've used both !).

I just called them and they said for 3/16" it is $13.94 for two feet. Excellent price.

Do you think two feet is enough?

Two feet is more than enough.  Your one inch shaft has a circumfrence of about 3.1415927. inches.  Times three rings for a pack job means you need a bit less than 1 foot.   ;)
