Topic: Stuffing Box 101

I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice about general maintenance and upkeep of this stuffing box that I have in my boat?  I would also be interesting in some make and model info if anyone seems to recognize this particular unit.  And I'm also wondering what "spares" I might want to bring along for this item for a long trip (circumnavigation)? 

Thanks again for all the advice.  Its been a huge help to me as I get my boat ready!

Re: Stuffing Box 101

Do not forget that you need two big wrenches in your tool box to adjust it. One for the forward nut and one to hold the locking nut at the same time.
