On Winsom #44 I do not have a stuffing box on the rudder post. the measurement on the shaft gland is 1 7/8" and the lock nut is 2". I cut a 1 7/8" wrench in half and ground the open end to 2". By using a screw driver in slots in the end of the wrench I can get leverage to loosen or tighten the lock nut.

I made some similar wrenches from a set of Harbor Freight wrenches.
