I believe a voltage meter will work but not comfortable where to ground given marine outlets. Also, I read where a level of 1/2 volt or more is a problem. Thanks

Thanks Skybolt. I'll follow up with results from tightening and hopefully it will slow the leakage.

Thanks,, away from the boat until Thursday, so, can't shoot/post pic until then. Almost certain its equipped with a stuffing box though.

Thanks. Yeah must be a hose or thru hull, hard to diagnose and been doing it for a couple years.

Thanks guys. Maybe it’s something else that’s leaking. Nothing stands out and just had the shaft seals replaced

Thanks again. I'm curious how much leakage is normal for the rudders. I seem to get a couple gallons after a few hours

Thanks Kevin!

Does anyone know if there is a reasonably priced replacement source for these? Thanks!

Thanks ZZ. I may try this option now as a stop gap until end of season. Appreciate it and nice looking boat you have there!

Thanks Golfman, yeah, tightened 2 years ago, but that's the only time.

I've never done this and the boats 15 years old. They weap and I assume are letting in a fair amount of water based on what I see in the bilge. Has anyone done this and how hard is it? Can it be done in the water?

Recommend you put that cover back on and forget about replacing with the same unit. Then buy yourself an electric dual trumpet horn. Run the wiring, and a push button switch and drill holes to mount somewhere convenient.They sell them pretty inexpensively and sound and look great.

Had a 2 man crew just finish this up. These guys are master Mercruiser/Searay mechanics so, they knew what they were doing. Also replaced the Cutlass bearings. This was quite a job, remove props, shafts, saw off the old bearings, re-align engines as over time they had shifted by @ 1/4 inch. All...

This will be my 3rd time re-caulking my top side windows. Eventually the caulk fails (4-5 years in) and leaks into cabin during rain. The design is such that the glass lays flat so water tends to pool around the glass when it rains. Any recommendations on a good glass caulk? I believe it has to...
