Now, a "boat unit" + later, I have (as of an hour ago) replaced the
u-joint with a brand new Aquadrive, and man, is it running smoother in
gear! I'm sure the old stuffing box will stay tighter now.
It's too bad I didn't have the correct packing gland here to do that
at the same time- I still plan to do it- since the shaft coupling was
off and it would have saved some work. Oh well.
PYI wqas really good when informed of their screw-up, though, and is
shipping the correct one down for no charge. I guess the next time I
haul out I'll take care of it.

You could do it while in the water, if you're fast enough.
