Or get a PSS mechanical shaft seal and never worry about packing material
ever again! :)

I guess the only way to be sure is to buy both 3/16 and 1/4 when ordering.

I have hull #222 and have only been able to use 3/16" packing. Tried 1/4"
but it was too big. Seems odd since most owners report using 1/4" packing
including boats around my vintage. All shafts are 1" as far as I know.
Hard
to believe there would be any variance in the ID of the packing nut?

Jerry,
I used silicone rescue tape

2
wraps around the stuffing box and shaft. Sealed everything up tight. It
sticks to itself so it is easy to remove when you are done.
