Bob,why dont you run it on the hose to see if it is the freeze
plug before you put it back in to look for the leak? I talked to
Safari,he is in for the poker run if we are still going.

Can you see the water coming in?

Oddly enough, we had excess water, pulled the bildge plug female, recaulked, added one size bigger screws (3) and we have had a dry bildge since.
Just my 2 cents.

Rick, Iam going to the Northshop to try that right now, I am still planing on going to te run. So tel Sfari to sleep at your house on FridayNight so you can wake his ass up at 0430

The only draw back is going to be the weather, As you know,, I must behome fo Sunday afternoon. So I am watching it VERY close

Its the steer shaft seal.

otis311 06-12-2003 08:05 AM

More info, I put the boat on the hose and ran it .NO WATER !!

When you float the boat, it instantly starts leaking righ from behind the coupler area. You cant see exactly from where because its so tight, but thats where it is presenting itself

HELP

Bob.
Im going with the transom assembly seal. Did you try to tighten up the assembly?
Or like Obnoxus pionted out the Swivel shaft seel. When the hydrolic rams are attached it is very hard to detect play in the assembly. I found mine was shot when I disconected the ram to swap out the drive this winter.
I would definatly want to know where its comming from before you run it again so you can keep an eye on it.
