Your Boat Deserves the Best:

There are many options when it comes to repairing, replacing, or upgrading your boat’s stuffing box or shaft seal system. We highly recommend our self-aligning shaft seal if you have room in your boat and your budget allows. However, if you need a traditional bronze stuffing box for your boat, and you want the best, an R.E. Thomas stuffing box may be the best choice for you.

Refer to the size chart below to ensure you order the correct size stuffing box for your boat. Pay particular attention to the shaft size, flange dimensions, and overall length of the box.

In most cases we can cut the flange and bolt pattern to match your existing stuffing box (just drop off or mail us your current box). Additional fees apply for these services.
