Switch to dripless
Who has made the switch from the old style packing to the dripless?
I am going to have to repack my older style over the winter and curious if I should just switch to dripless and whether or not its worth the cost.2016 Moomba Mojo

I have heard to go with some teflon coated seals that don't need changing near as often as the standard wax cord. look at that route. you can do a lot of changeouts for the cost of the dripless.

Your right on that one, but then I have absolutely no water in my bilge either nor the hassle of changing out the packing. Gotta way the pro and cons.

water in the bilge is no biggie for me. that's what you have a bilge for seems that water gets in there from ballast, wet peeps on the rear hatch.. etc....
dealer here quoted me $75 for packing cord irregardless of whether they supply the basic wax cord or I provide the teflon stuff which is fairly cheap.. I would think you could do that change 4 times for the cost of a dripless setup. if you only do the teflon cord every 3 years, you are now beyond where most would keep the boat..
either way, a personal preference..'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten

The PSS dripless runs under $200 and the OJ around $160, not as bad as you'd think it is.

How often to the dripless seals need to be replaced if at all?

I'm pretty sure the dealer qouted me even less than 160 (not including labor).
That was my reasoning for considering the switch.

If you're looking for some dripless underwear, KG's mom has an extra pair or two!

Dealer here said the system was $150 and then 1.5 to 2 hours of labor.
