Shaft Packing
I have a 10.8 meter International and I cant find anything about the size shaft packing I should use for the prop shafts. We put in 5/16 but it does not drip. Does anybody know the size needed or where I can find the info?

I have a 1989 10.8 Sedan Bridge and I used 5/16 GFO Packing. Has been great!
