HOW TO REMOVE AND REPLACE RUDDER PACKING ~ PACIFIC SEACRAFT 34

[@jamieyz]

How did you fit there? I have a PSC 34, and that is nuts. I appreciate the video!

[@Paul-sx3fr]

Excellent! Thank you for taking the extra effort to shoot a video. This is a project that I've been dreading but it helps a lot to see it being done.

No sweat! It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Mostly just a very awkward space to work in. Good luck!

@@sailingrumi3587 How did you fit in there to do the work. I've tried numerous times. I'm a small guy and I can't get back that far.

What is the name of that corkscrew tool that you used to remove it? I haven't seen one of those before. Also, I thought the reason for two was so that you could offset where the ends came together by 180 degrees.

HI Nick, the tool is called a packing extractor. Here is a link to one: www.amazon.com/Palmetto-1101-Extractor-flexible-removeable/dp/B00887BSP8/ref=asc_df_B00887BSP8/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=503460592068&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7076512498812039808&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9011484&hvtargid=pla-1194797278502&psc=1 Two would definitely be better but my stuffing box only had enough space for one. I have talked to other PS owners and this seems to be the consensus.

Flax, not flux.
