Drive shaft packing nut, Custom made wrenches!!!
All, I recently re-packed my drive shaft nut and I was having issues finding the tools to tighten the packing nut and jam nut. My 2005 Mobius LSV the packing nut is 1-15/16" & the jam nut is 1-13/16. My choices were to buy two new wrenches @ $60-$80 a piece and cut them to fit in the hull so I could adjust and tighten them on the water. I ended up getting some custom wrenches made out of 1/4" plate steel, they aren’t too fancy but they work great and were only $80 for the pair. If there is anyone is interested in getting copies of mine made or need a different sized pair made let me know. I can have them made and shipped within a week or two. I will post pictures of the actual wrenches later this evening.

Nice piece. I like your idea.
I am currently using one of the custom aluminum flat wrench (blue anodized), from SKIDM or somewhere. I also bought a plumbing wrench from Sears for the thin nut, as I couldn't find another in the correct sizing for the thin side of the coupler.

Ummh, I just registered to be able to see the pics of the wrenches, but now it just says Attached Thumbnails and is not clickable.

I use an adjustable sink wrench (see below) and channel locks.

I got this jumbo wrench set at the end of last season. I plan to cut the 2" and 1-7/8" ones for use on the prop shaft.
