Shaft Seal Failure Help
At the tail end of last year I thought the bilge had more water in it than usual, but we were doing a lot of surfing and dragging water into the boat. Then it seemed worse and I figured I had a leaky o ring in one of my bags. My bags all look good and now I suspect the shaft seal.
I just pulled the boat out to fire it up in advance of putting it in the lake for the season and with the "fake a lake" attached I noticed a solid stream of water coming from the prop shaft exit under the boat. I've either never noticed this before or the seal is shot....guessing the seal is bad.
I have dripless type and wonder how difficult it is to change?
I did a quick search and didn't find too much on the subject. It's not going to be fun cause the v drives suck, but how bad is it?
