    Fake lake ?

    I changed out my prop today and also hooked up a fake lake. All went good....

    I do have a question. When I was running the fake lake I had water squirting every where. After I removed the fake lake set up everything drained.....I noticed water coming out of the area where the prop shaft goes into the boat? Is this normal? Even a few hours later. Noticed a wet spot under the boat, and there was still a very slow drip coming from there. It was water and Only water....

    Heading to Table Rock and trying to reassure myself it is going to be a great trip.....

    Your boats not in your tag, but IIRC you have a newer boat. If so, ya it's normal. Your shaft seal is "lubed" by raw water from the engine. While running it pours out. After shut off it drains from wherever it's grabbing water from. If you follow the hose from your shaft seal you will know for sure what components are drained when boat is on trailer....
    Not that it matters, it's just knowing stuff about your boat

    Enjoy your trip

      Totally normal if you have the dripless shaft seal.
