Question when redoing the prop shaft packing on 05 21v

[luke22885]

I tightened the packing last year after i noticed it was leaking too much and it was ok for a while but just put boat in for first time this year on Saturday and it was back to leaking pretty good. I am planning on redoing the packing but not sure how I know which size packing to replace it with. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I just called Skidim and they were able to help me out with ease.

Here's a great "how-to" which is referenced elsewhere on the forums on how to repack the shaft packing...
