    I've seen the product advertised and had a close look at it during the boat show, but I've not spoken with anyone using the product in place of a normal stuffing box. Is anyone using them and can you elaborate on their performance?

    I have heard good reports on this product. Seems to me it's about time we starting using something a little more sophisticated than a stuffing box! Geez, what is a stuffing box: the state-of-the-art technology from Eastern Europe circa 1920?

    We've been installing Dripless Bearings for many years. They work fine. I'm not familiar with Durashaft though.
