Does anyone know if all 1" shafts take 1/4 packing? My 28 express stuffing box needs attention at I cannot tell if it is 1/4 or 5/16.

When in doubt, go SMALLER and just add an additional ring.

Well I am still researching this actually. This site has the 1-7/8 but the miss match is 1-1/2 , not the needed 1-3/4.
Also with this being a silicon 5 ply hose, need to know how that specs to a typical hose.

@ Metalhead....Did you ever find the rudder stuffing box hose in the 1 7/8" x 1 3/4" configuration? I have a 75 32' sedan slipped in Aquia, Virginia that is in dire need of new plastic stuffing boxes which I did find at a ski boat shop in La. The hose has been elusive...Thanks

Thanks Dave, However I have already purchased the plastic stuffing boxes. I need the 1 7/8" x 1 3/4" hose to accommodate the 1 7/8" tube and the stuffing box which is 1 3/4".
