Well, I added fluid the other day... & she's spinning. But leaked out again, I think it's coming from the cooler line. Gonna check & tighten. Hope that's the only place & hope she'll spin in water too. :/

well, checked the cooler lines, and doesn't seem to be coming from there... dammit... lol But jus about as fast as I added I think it came out.... so now I am thinking front seal...??? Is this anything someone else has had? I am thinking since it sat for a little time, that I may have blown it out???

There's a freeze plug in the tailstock. I have had them fall out, fluid leaks right out the back of the trans. If it was the front pump seal, you would see tons of red trans fluid in the bilge. If its the tailstock plug, you won't see the fluid as much cause its leaking into the driveshaft bellow.

Congrats on the new boat but sorry about the transmissions. I got a new to me scarab panther that I am repowering over the winter and converting to bravo drives I don't really like how it rides with the engines forward. At this point
I have 2 transmissions and drives that I am trying to sell if your interested let me know.
Thanks
