PROPELLER SHAFT STUFFING BOX
The stuffing box is designed to prevent water from coming through the
through-hull fittings. These are found on the propeller shaft where the shaft
goes through the hull and where the rudder comes up through the bottom of the
boat. These devices contain a lubricated fibrous packing that acts as a seal.
The propeller shaft stuffing box should be checked frequently (with the engine
off) for excessive leakage other than a few drops per minute. This rate is
acceptable and expected. Raise the engine hatch and remove the storage
bulkheads. If you see a steady stream of water or an excessive drip rate, return
your boat to your Correct Craft dealer for service. (This stuffing box has left
hand threads).
Through-Hull Fittings
All fittings that actually pass through the hull on the wetted surface are caulked
in. These are not serviceable and should not be tampered with.
Quick Oil Drain System
The first oil change should be done after 25 hours. All the rest of the oil
changes should be done after every 50 hours. There is a drain hose attached to
the bottom of the oil pan with a small plug screwed into the loose end of the
hose. Remove the drain plug at the transom and stick the end of the drain hose
through the drain hole.
Make sure there are no kinks or sharp bends in the hose. Remove the plug at
the end of the hose and drain the oil into a container under the boat.
The engine will drain most efficiently when the oil is warm. Allow several
minutes for the oil to settle and drain.
NOTE: BE SURE THE ENGINE IS OFF WHEN YOU ARE DRAINING YOUR
OIL. (See Chapter 8 for step-by-step instructions)
