Miles,

I appreciate the information and that was a great instructional clip you passed along. The boat is sitting on a trailer, so water intrusion won't be an issue. I pulled up the rear hatch to gain better access, but it is still limited due to the exhaust hoses and muffler. Hopefully the locking nut and stuffing box nut separate easily. I'll let you know how it works out. I'm getting a steady stream of intrusion, so I doubt a simple adjustment is going to solve the problem.

Thanks again.

Barry
