I can’t stand leaks also. Gives me anxiety when I open the hatch. Boat is at Barrett and hopefully they fix it. Can’t wait.Hell no! Best not be any milk shake in there. I just spent 17k rebuilding the drives last spring!! lol
I noticed a bit of oil in the bilge and when I inspected closer it was up on the transom notch so thought it was coming off the oil cooler on the back side of the port motor. But then when I pulled it out of storage to take it to havasu I noticed a small line of oil leaking down the bell housing (outside) on the port drive. So I thought I had a leak somewhere up in the gimbal from trim ram or something as well. But it turns out it indeed may be some hydraulic line up in the transom assembly that is getting back pressure and leaking in and out. I don’t know. AJ explained it to me but I didn’t really get it. Vern wanted to take the whole transom assemblies off to put the new seals in but luckily he thinks he may be able to get up in there with only the drives off and change them. Fingers crossed it stops both leaks. I can’t stand any drips!!! lol then swap drives, drive service / engine Service. Good to go.![]()
