It was the prop. They just put a new one on and charged me $225. Then they sent mine out to get it fixed and they are just going to keep that one. I'm going out this weekend so I needed it done fast and they were awesome about it. They also repacked my shaft seal.

WEEELLLLLL my shaft seal leaks really bad when just sitting in the water. According to the Tige Watersports they repacked my shaft seal. Is there anything that I can do? and should I get my money back?Comment

From my understanding, even though they repacked it there is some adjustment that needs to get it right. I would call them back and explain the problem. They might even lake test it with you this time since you had a problem?Mike Allen, Tigé owner since 1997Comment

I haven't been able to use the boat or work on it yet because it is in Havasu but I'm going tomorrow morning and i need to tighten the jam nut i think. how do i do that and is there some video i could watch?Comment

is that even what i need to do if it is a new seal and leaking?Comment

Here are a few links that might help you understand the whole process.
It sounds like you need to do this: After about one or two hours of running time, check the stuffing box for leakage, and make a final adjustment to attain minimum leakage. (There should be virtually no leakage.)
