Prop and rudder shaft packing size 06 launch 21v

[Brian_289]

I’m about to take delivery of my 06 launch 21v this week and want to get some maintenance items coming. Can anyone tell me what size packing I need to do the prop and rudder shafts? I was on www.skidim.com and it’s all sold by size. I have an email into them as well. Just hoping for some assistance here.

Are you referring to the shaft seal on the shaft? I have a 2006 24 SSV that's leaking a lot of water from the seal. I was told by a boat mechanic the size of the packing is 3/16th. I haven't taken it apart yet but I ordered this stuff: "Palmetto - 631A-13890638 Series 100% GFO Expanded PTFE with Graphite Compression Packing Seal, Dull Black, 3/16" Square" on Amazon. Hopefully it's the right size.
