Well I am happy to say and yes I had my doubts on the old school boxes! We are 2 months in and approx 50hrs, and the old school boxes are pretty good I have to say.
At the beginning was a learning curve when we picked up the boat. First one was hot and adjust then the other one got hot. Now I have them dialed in they are ice cold and maybe give me a cup of water in 10 hrs. Not sure how many drips that is exactly but I think it’s good.
I do have a question thought, I have a ball valve attach to each shaft tube that goes to a thru hull. Not sure of its function almost seems like a dripless scenario?
Are the rudder boxes the same for adjusting, mine are moist around the tubes, and water does accumulate, very very little. Same idea loosen lock and snug packing?
