To each his own...I have the graphite packing in my traditional stuffing box, and it is almost dripless. I would personally be worried about rubber bellows and burpers and stuff in an area I can't readily access. The amount of sea water that drips in thru the stuffing box almost evaporates before I can sponge it out of the bilge.
