Also, dumb question but is the prop dine and dent free? The smallest ding can make a difference.

As for the leaks, small drips while underway are normal. When stopped it should not drip. I can't remember off the top of my head but somewhere around 1 drip every 5 to 10 seconds is normal. It's better to have more drips than less, as too little cooling on the packing glands will score the shaft and will require propshaft replacement.

The packing around the propshaft needs to be cooled by water when running. You can tighten the nut to slow the leakage. If its tight but youre still getting too much water in, replace the packing.

Good info thankyou. I'll look into it. I've never had to align the shaft before. Maybe that's my problem...as for the nut and letting in too much water. I'll look into that too..
