Well, 1/4 more turn and it would be dripless. I don't mind having a cup of
water come through in 12 hours of cruising, and none while stopped. Sure was
easier and cheaper than a "dripless" packing system, which by the way can
catastrophically fail and sink your boat.

I'll second that. Goretex is great stuff, and will result in an almost
dripless system if installed properly. See:
