Drive shaft seal failure . lasdrop bellow
You heard it right . Was on the water for about an hour and started to pull the tube around . When the boat seemed sluggesh and weighted . I kicked the bilge on and had water .
So I opened the motor hood and bam ! There was water rushing in !
I had everyone sit on the bow to plain out and headed for the dock . Stopped and got trailered , it took 20min to drain with everything open and bilge pumps on ! .
So now that I have almost sunk the boat , what would be the best shaft seal for these 1" shafts . And what do I need to measure to order or price the new set up . ?
Also I've seen some with a hose connected to it . What is that all about ?
