It maybe a good idea to clean up both stuffing boxes to "Bristol" condition. Then tighten them a little for this coming season of sailing.
Neither of you really know how much stuffing is left, and they are working.
Your repackings should be at least started in the Fall.
On my project boat, separating the box took a table vise, and inside there was only one ring left.
