As far as I remember, it was, cause I received a letter straight from tige, that I had to take the boat to a dealer to have that shaft seal replaced, but I can't remember the exact reason as to why they would fail....

I recall the same. I don't believe it was ALL 2013 builds, just up until a certain point which was very close to the 2014 builds. It doesn't appear that they had to be replaced, but a collar added to keep it set in place. Below is a thread that has "copy" of the notice from Tige

my dealer did what was suggested by tige in this thread Dandy linked, but that didn't hold up, so ended up replacing it with a different style that was on the new boats at the time.

That was my issue at the time, the first fix did not work, so they replaced the whole thing, my boat was built in about Apr 2013
