Well never really have had any problems with this. Usually I would get hardly any water out of plug even after a full day. The last 2 trip I noticed there alittle more in the engine compartment. This last weekend I took it out just to run it for like 45 minutes and when I put it back on trailor I noticed alot of water coming out the bottom of boat where the shaft that prop connects to. So I lifted the engine cover and it was almost full of water. It took like 10 minutes with plug out to fully drain. I am new to boat as you could probably tell but anyone have any ideas? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like it's time to either adjust the tension of the shaft seal collar, depending on what type of seal you have, or replace it all together.Mikes Liquid Audio: Knowledge Experience Customer Service you can trust-KICKER WetSounds ACME props FlyHigh Custom Ballast Clarion LiquidLumens LEDs Roswell Wave Deflector And More -
x2. It could just need tightening. Also check the hose clamps around the exhaust logs. I've had one come loose before and it put a TON of water in the boat. If it is coming back out the shaft seal tough, that sounds like your huckleberry.Originally posted by chpthril View PostYou'll get your chance, smart guy.Comment

Thanks for help. How much should replacing that seal run? I gonna see if anything is loose down there but Im thinking its the seal as well.Comment

Yes you will need to fix this for sure..but my question would also be does your bilge pump work?? That much water should have kicked in the automatic portion of your bilge pump. I would check it. If you dont have one with auto I would upgrade.Comment

What year/model do you have?Comment

Its an 05 21I. Yeah my bilge pump is not working either. The switch doesnt light up when u flip it so it could be the switch but I will have them both repaired at the same time. What should the seal with labor and bilge pump with labor run me? I dont want to get poked in the eyes so just checking. Thanks again guys.Comment

I would not hesitate to repair both of these issues yourself. Not hard and will save you $$. Just do a search here and you will find all the info. needed to tackle these projects. Shaft seal is a maintenance thing that surfaces every so often. The pump could be faulty wiring (ie loose wire, connection etc) or maybe needs replacing.Comment

Not sure if your shaft seal is the same type as mine but I had the same issue and it literally took me more time to get the rear floor hatch opened than it did to tighten the shaft seal. Mine had one cotter pin in it and after removal just a few turns did the trick.
Good luck!Comment
