We're at the lake for a weeks vacation. My bilge pump kicked on when I wasn't expecting it to and it led me to start searching. The rubber, prop shaft coupler was peeing water. It looks like I may have not put the hose clamps on straight and it pinched the rubber or something like that. I repositioned the clamp over the pinched area and moderately tightened it. The flow has been stopped for now.
Any guesses as to how long this will last? Can I make it the week? I don't know if operating will put significant pressure on this and really open it up? I don't really have a way of repairing it this week and our whole vacation is centered around using the boat on the lake. I haven't messed with this coupler at all (other than to screw up the clamp) and I'm not sure what to expect.
