I have a DCMY 40, 1988 model. The starboard rudder gland is leaking underway. It did this about seven years a go. I tightened the gland and stopped the leak. How many times can the gland be tightened before repacking is required. What is the guideline for knowing tighten or repack? Does...

I just recently replaced a lift pump on a Cummins 6BT5.9. I know that these engines have 60-80 lbs. oil pressure and when I removed the broken pump only a few drops of fuel ran out. My question for the experts is this; should I be concerned with diesel in the crankcase? Thanks for knowledge...
