Hi George and Ellen,

Can't answer your specific question but a search of the site for "A25 Stuffing" finds this thread and a few others.

Hope that helps.

Our '71 has what I believe is the original stuffing box (comparing it to the owner's manual). It only needs grease for servicing and the only precaution was to never apply grease under pressure, just fill the cavity and re-seal the cap.

Have a 1972 Albin 25 just removed
for inspection. Has two seals & a
bushing. It is original with no wear.
Just cleaned & put it back. You should
be able to match up new seals @ your
local parts house. Couldn't find the
same kind of hose to couple it with
mine was bad. Replaced it with 1 1/2
plastic suction hose. Will keep my
fingers crossed.

Tides Marine offers some nice choices https://store.tidesmarine.com/index.php ... y&path=145

Or Marine Wet Exhaust Hose is a good choice.
