    Hello,
    I am looking for any info about FTS stuffing boxes. We have two of these on our 2003 Mainship trawler and before I service them I am trying to find out more about them. Manufacture contact info, has anyone had experience with servicing these? I have search all over and cannot find any info on these. Unfortunately Mainship is still on plant shut down so I can't call them.

    Thank you,
    Bill Forrestall

    Hello,
    Just a follow up to my original,post. I finally found the manufacturer of these
    stuffing boxes and spoke to them today. They were extremely helpful.
