Re: Greasing stern shaft packing gland

I work roughly 20/7. Yes I have all the books I need. I'm going for my third class, still have them all to do. I went and did my math exam, and did horribly on it. I thought I had done enough studying for it, but obviously not. The math was mostly algebra, and I studied it, but didn't study enough. ...

Re: Greasing stern shaft packing gland

I need a bit of help to study. I have been studying, but get blocked by things I have a hard time understanding. My physics teacher from high school is going to help me out with my learning block. I definitely need to get a bigger ticket. There is no doubt about that. Hard to go back to school when ...

Re: Greasing stern shaft packing gland

There is a flexible bellows after the turbos. From what I have seen, it seems every gasket is leaking. Yes long term health is an issue. Which is why I don't spend any time down there at all, unless we are shut down for short oeriod of time while we are off loading, or loading. I would love to get o...

No, all the piping from what I have seen is all solid steel piping. No flex piping. All the asbestos was taken off in the late 80's. I'll take note of your get home joby.

Re: Greasing stern shaft packing gland

Sorry reread your post. Yes I'm sure the flanges are quite gouged out from the leaks that have been persistent. I'm putting it on the list again to see what comes of it.

Re: Greasing stern shaft packing gland

Well I'd love to get you all that, and to do the job. This boat doesn't sit for more than 3-4 hours at a time. When it's at the dock, the boss will tell me it's not worth it. The actual leaks are not out of the heads at all. They are all tight. The leaks have progressively gotten worse on the exhaus...

Re: Greasing stern shaft packing gland

Ya it's not much of a union. It was created just so the company could work with other union companies. An anonymous call wouldn't work because there are only two engineers that work on this tug that complain about it. It'd be one of us.
