Check out GFO Gore Tex shaft packing on eBay. I put that stuff in about 5 years ago and have not needed to adjust them since then. It's not like the old flax packing and a heck of a lot cheaper than installing PSS seals. I know everyone is happy with PSS but it's a job installing them. While you are down there consider adding splash guards around the seals. Just take a 3" or 4" x 8" hose and cut it lengthwise and put a clamp on it . That way if you do have some drips they do not spray all over at high speed. Capt. George
