    http://www.hotboatpics.com/pics/data/500/15596DSC00585-med.JPGI'm reassembling my pump and I have two types of rope packing. Is one better than the other?

    The black graphite.
    i second that, the graphite wears the shaft less and it takes 4 instead of 5 white ones to fill the gland.

    I know about the mechanical shaft seals.
    My only problem with it is when it starts leaking its going to be a big job to change. The packing I can change at the river.
