Addition to community knowledge.  The nuts on 801 require a 1-7/8"
wrench.
Replacement in the water was less intimidating than I imagined.  The bildge
pump came on one time during the process.  Using a rag was a great
suggestion and helped a lot.  Used a zip tie to hold it in place.
The most difficult task was removing the old packing material.  It took a
strong pick and a bit of work to clean the nut.  Used teflon putty kit.
Jury still out on the product.  Does not leak, but slings residue.
Bert - Thanks for the caution about the steel wrench and the AP compass.
