[C38] Dry Packing

[Larry Malmberg]

Has anyone put in a dry shaft packing vs. the drip that the boat came with?
We have a one inch shaft, recently replaced the packing but still have to
adjust it all the time.  There must be a better way.  LOL  Also, what's the
typical life of a cutlass bearing?  I know, it probably depends upon how
much you run the engine, we run ours a bit.
