[C320-list] ? Add packing in the water?

[K L]

Phil:

Before I switched to the dripless seal I changed the packing material with 
my boat in the water. Of course water will come in but it isn't all that 
much and the bilge pump will take care of it. However, I wouldn't "add" 
packing material. I would replace it.
