Last week the rudder nut on Dana's rudder packing gland needed to be tightened due to some weepage. In the beginning of the season I used my homemade wrench to repack. This time I decided to use the brand new aluminum wrench you sent me. It appears that the new wrench is exactly 3.25 inches wide. It also appears that I mismeasured the opening required because I had to remove 1/16" from the opening to make the wrench work. Not a big deal to modify but I feel very guilty that my original measurement was wrong. With that slight modification the wrench works fine on Dana. I'm sorry for the misinformation.
