Inboard Guys-Traditional Stuffing Box or Dripless?

[Islandtrader]

My last boat had a 350 inboard. I put on over 1200 hours before I even changed the stuffing box. I ran that engine at 34-3600 rpm. Top rpm around 5000. Never a problem.

I use watch the drip and adjust it when ever it was necessary...and that was hardly more than a few times a year. Better to have to much drip than not enough.
