Geeze, the stuffing box (prop shaft) drips one a second- shaft not turning. Too fast, I know. It is so tight in there what kind of wrenches have you had success with in tightening the nut?
Might want to look here: https://www.deepblueyachtsupply.com/3bpbw100-buck-algonquin-packing-box-wrenches Much better than those adjustable Home Depot deals and worth the money, in my opinion--IF they have the size you need.Geeze, the stuffing box (prop shaft) drips one a second- shaft not turning.

12 bucks. I like that. These are spanner wrenches for sink drains. Geeze if they work. I notice you have a 32 foot boat. I am guessing there is more room in shaft alley. I will measure the space in mine and take a trip to Lowes. ( Lowes gives 10% veteran's discounts whereas HD does not- anymore)
Thanks again, fellers!
