RE: Stuffing box question/can of worms

I have sufficient space in my ER to do routine hourly checks when under way.*Two *of the checks are:

---- Visually inspect each PYI dripless system*for drips*
---- Use and IR gun to check temperature at PYI fittings, it should closely match the**** water temperature feeding the raw water pump

I'd do the same if it were a flax or Gore system
