[C320-list] stuffing box packing

[Jeffrey Hare]

Bert,

   I believe most people have reported that 1/4" is what actually fits on
our boats, even though the manual says 3/16".  If you've actually used 3/16"
and had it work, then you're boat is seems to be an exception to the norm.
:)

Many folks have switched over to GFO packing material for dripless
operation.

Don't know what people are saying, but the owner's manual for my 1997 model
says 3/16".
