Re: Area Rugs

Re: stuffing box lock nut

Hi All - thanks for your posts ! I'm the new owner of Easy Riders, #29. I have a small drip on the stbd rudder stuffing box. After lubricating, would you suggest I hold the lock-nut and tighten the adjusting nut ... or, back the lock-nut off a little first (turning clockwise?)? The rusty blob in the...
