Left Galveston this am. I've been checking the stuffing box drip and have noticed a little wobble in the stuffing box. Also a bit of vibration I don't remember before.
Is any vibration or stuffing box acceptable, or will something fly apart soon. I'm on my way to FL so....
I ran aground last summer but have used the boat quite a bit since. Checked the cutlass bearing when I did haulout recently. Seemed Ok to me but maybe I checked it wrong.
Wobble gets worse with higher RPM.
I'm about to enter the stretch in Louisiana where there's not much in the way of services so wondering what to do.
