[C38] Rudder packing

[Duff, Russ (R.W.)]

I searched my own archives and found the emails related to rudder packing.
I will look for some 1/2 inch packing and get that in there.
As soon as I can get my stuff together, I will try to compose a write up of
what I did.

Sincerely,

Russ,
Didn't we discuss this a year or so ago?  I think Don talked about how 
he repacked his box and there was also some discussion about a "gaitor?" I
can search my archives if that would help. BTW,  this would be a great set
of instructions for the website if you 
would like to do so!
Thanks,
cf
