They are probably just like a stuffing box only you can keep them tighter so you get zero drippage since they only move a few degrees at a time. do they have a overly large nut where packing could fit inside?

if I would have kept mine, I would have switched the logs to dripless... I was forever, as in every trip, adjusting the gland nuts.. :garfield:

Dripless is the only way to fly. Once you've had 'em, you'll never go back.
Sorta like heated seats in your car (or heated grips on your bike) - you don't realize what you're missing until you have them, then you wonder how you lived without 'em.
No salt in the bilge = :kingme:
