| When checking a water-lubricated stern tube bearing while underway, what should be checked for? |
| A) Ensure that the stuffing box packing gland is loose enough so that the last ring of packing is visible. |
| B) Ensure that the stuffing box packing gland is tight enough so that there is no leakoff whatsoever. |
| C) Ensure that the stuffing box packing gland is taken up just enough so that the leakoff rate is a periodic drip. |
| D) Ensure that the stuffing box packing gland is loose enough so that there is a steady stream of water leaking by. |
