help on how to perform rudder packing replacement on a 340 sundancer
i am getting ready to for bottom paint and led lights on my 2004 340 da. while i am at it i want to replace the rudder packing. i think its 3/4 inch flux packing. any tips on how to go about it since this is my first time.
i know that you should but the ends together using a 45 degree angle cut and if multple packings are used you should stagger them. also burnish the shafts with emerey cloth. some questions i have are how should i remove the retainer nut and seals. do I need to remove the rudder?
