- Chein Hwa Present Sundeck 35
I just repacked the shaft on my trawler. It is a Present 35 with a Perkins 6-354 and a 1 1/2 shaft. The P O had left packing aboard that was 1/2 inch. When I pulled out the old packing there were only 2 rings. I had three rings cut but can only get 2 rings into the nut even after tightening it down and then backing it off. Has anyone else had this problem or have I put the wrong size in ?
