View the latest post Prop Shaft getting hot

- Forum: General Boating Discussion
On my 405 been doing some spring maintenance including shaft alignment,oil and all the other checks etc.I've not had any issues with my shaft logs getting hot but this weekend I've found my stbd is getting up to 100f using my infared thermometer aimed at the top of the nut the hottest part i meaured. . I was on a real slow short cruise we, shut it down and came back on 1 engine. I've never had the traditional drip as my Trojan F32 had on its packing. so ive kept a pretty close eye on this. My Port is still nice and cool with really no drips (never had)when running. Again I've never had a problem so I have no clue what packing that they currently have. I have tried adjusting the nuts and did back it off but temp was still warm so I've decided it's time to repack it. I know the shaft size is 1.5 and the packing should be 1/4. What I am interested in is recommended packing material to install in it, I will remove all of what's in there . What are your guys thoughts about this? And the packing type to use?
