Western Pacific Trading 10005 Flax Shaft Packing 3/8 Inch x 2 Feet

The Western Pacific Trading 10005 is a high-quality braided flax packing designed specifically for marine shaft packing and stuffing box applications. This traditional packing material provides reliable sealing for propeller shafts and other rotating equipment on boats and watercraft.

Key Features:

• 3/8 inch diameter braided flax construction for durability
• 2-foot length provides sufficient material for most installations
• Impregnated with natural lubricants for smooth operation
• Ideal for sealing leaky stuffing boxes on inboard marine drives
• Traditional flax material offers proven reliability in marine environments

This flax packing is commonly used in inboard propulsion systems to create a seal around the propeller shaft where it exits the hull through the stuffing box. The natural lubricants help reduce friction and heat while maintaining an effective seal that allows a small amount of water to drip through for cooling purposes.
