So I have had an annoying problem all year... Today I decided to try to figure out what the reason that I have 1.5 inches of water in my bilge....
I know rain etc. but I vacuumed out the water and started port engine, and I can see water trickling down the back of the transom... I cannot really see where it is coming from, but I was able to feel some wetness... It seems to be on the bottom of the transom assembly, but not under it... there is some sort of cavity that I can put my hand in, and it was wet in that area.... I am not sure if the shift cable bellows, or gimbal bellows would cause this or not.... it is not a great deal of water, and it only happens when the engine is running......(not sure if that indicates anything either...
