    Stuffing Tube keep's moving.

    I have a AquaCraft Motley Crew and the Teflon Stuffing Tube keep's moving ahead and sliding into the Flex Collet,the Bushing in the Strut for the FlexShaft does not move on me it just the Teflon Tube.

    I'm wondering if a think layer of Epoxy where the Teflon Tube come's out of the Brass Tube would not help to hold it in place.

    heat shrink tubing over the brass and 1/4" past the teflon, shrink it down so its smaller on the collet side but able to slide the flex shaft past

      Same idea as steveo but instead of heat shrink use silicon water tube as this grips down onto the teflon where its stretch onto the tube.

              properchopper 's method will also help keep the water out also! Works really well.
