Just bought my first boat with an inboard. Bukh 10.

There is a drip coming from what I think is a stuffing box. I have photos. See below. You can seethe drip in the photo.

For the life of me I could not figure out how I could tighten the stuffing box - there was no nut. There was a grease nipple right where it was dripping from - would pumping it with grease stop the drip.

It's dripping about 1 drop per second. I'll go back to the boat tomorrow to install an auto bilge pump so it does not sink between now and when I haul it out to clean the bottom in 2 or 3 weeks


Cheers
