Hi,
I have a 2001 290 with twin 5.0 and bravo 3’s. Recently I discovered a small drip from behind the port motor. I’ve used several means to determine where the drip is originating from with no success. Well today the boat was taken out for the season and I was in hopes of easily finding the source of the leak. I removed the drive, no water in the bellows! What I did discover was that there was no clamp on the rear of my shift cable boot. The boot slides up and down the cable casing very easy. Question: is this normal or should there be a clamp of some kind to seal this? Wondering if this could be the source of the leak.
