Thankyou everyone for your comments I have been to look at it now as you have all said it’s surfaced rust and it doesn’t have an air filter at the top , they. Gave me surveying report and when looking at it I was concerned on the stern tube when I went out to view they said he tightens the nuts as water seeps in is   this exspensive to replace the stern tube and pack the gland I’ve sent the survey report to look thank you

If there is slack in the bearing then the packing will always wear as the shaft moves about
