1976 26' Express Question

Anyone happen to know the outside diameter of the stern tube on a 26' express? I know the shaft diameter is 1" but I need the stern tube diameter in order to buy the correct size dripless shaft seal.
Thanks,
James

Here is a photo of the stuffing box on my '75 F26. The transmission is on the left. Shaft log is on the right. I think to get an accurate measurement, you will need to remove the hose part of the stuffing box. I assume that's why you are asking?
Good Luck,
Chuck

Thanks for the pic Chuck, and yes I'm looking for the measurement of the outside stern tube diameter that would be underneath the far right side of the stuffing box.

I tried getting a measurement for you this morning. It is about 2-1/2 inches, but that may not be very accurate. I don't have a caliper that fits in the space behind the outer rubber hose on my stuffing box, which has a 3 in OD. My best suggestion is to dissasemble and measure yours before ordering.
Good Luck,
Chuck
