I am currently having my Cruiser 3370 repaired from hurricane damage and am also involved in building a 43 trawler SUSIEQ. I am at a point of needing to put in stuffing boxes and would like to know what brands and type i should go with. I prefer to have the knew "dry" boxes but understand that not all brands stay dry. If these new ones do not work what kind of good old reliable ones should I get, and what kind of packing stays the driest. Thanks for any info. Drew
