New rudder stuffing box hose clamps


 Rocco the Rigger got the old hose clamps off the rudder post and installed the new ones we had gotten.

 Old hose clamps.



 We had Rocco do this because I am too large to fit in the space and do any realistic work and Debbie does not have the arm strength to but off the clamps. Darn girls :)

 Rocco got in there and did fine, well he was talking to Jesses sometimes so maybe not so fine but he did get the new clamps on and was wishing he had not taken on that job :).


 The new clamps we purchased at Marine Exchange and were a bit big so it made the installation even harder as Rocco needed to screw the clamps down even further.

 They look good though. 

We will put some rubber safety ends on them and check them for tightness.
Nothing against Rocco but we had better check all work done or shame on us if something happens and we did not check it out.
