Title: GTU gore shaft vs drip less moldable
Post by: crieders on April 18, 2014, 11:01:20 AM
I have used the GTU gore shaft successfully
But the moldable drip less makes a nice promise
I wonder what people have experienced

It's been a few years I forget what size diameter we  use in  our boats

Cliff, you might want to revisit the Stuffing Box articles on the wiki, like this one:  http://www.c34.org/wiki/index.php?title=Stuffing_box_packing (http://www.c34.org/wiki/index.php?title=Stuffing_box_packing)

GTU has been replaced by better Ultra X material, and the green goop is so 1980s as to make my boat look new!  :D

Cliff : I have used both and much preferred the Gore because it's easier to use.

My thought
