Well, I got on the water Saturday but it was short lived........... tranny fluid setting on the step of the hull, appears to be coming out of the inner transom plate, need some input from you guys this is the first tranny boat I've owned

Sure does, do you have a picture you could post of this seal, or installed in the housing

May not be tail shaft seal , if it was a seal it would leak into the bellows and not the bilge . First thing I would is check tranny fluid level . There is a right and wrong to to check it . Fire up the motors run for a few minute then shut it down and check level . It just may be over full , could be a fitting .

true, but if the donut gasket don't seal right it can do that, I only said since it was so far back, also look around breathers, if they are too full they will puke, non running and cold my levels are about 5/8" up the stick, also add pressure gauges they will tell you whats going on if they start to go bad on you....

you must be very cautious of leaks, these do not hold much fluid, once it slips it's done in almost every case.... I literally check all my fluids daily when running all weekend... I see so many guys never lift hatch, I do way too much but I know whats going on in there...

Thank goodness for forums like this, as there are so many things with these boats that I would never think to look in to. Always informative, and good nightstand reading before bed.
