Hey all,
First trip on the new to me 06 24Ve started great ended horribly. Was running around the lake enjoying being a new Tige owner...... life was good. Loaded it down for surfing and life was even better, surfed for about an hour or so, I went to go to the end of the lake Boat was spitting, sputtering and cavitating, opened the bilge to find it full of water. I drained it out run it up again, all seeemed fine but I could see the water shooting out of the PSS between the collar and boot. I limped it in to keep the spray to a minimum, got home and marked the spot the shaft and compressed it 3/4". But there is still some wiggle in the boot, and I can separate the boot from the collar still with a little bit of force. What is the spec on this, or is trial and error, don't want to destroy any bearings before my big trip in a few weeks. I know they're supposed to drip a little, but my last boat I had the water injected PSS installed so no drop on that, do they drip at idle speed or only under load? I really need this figured out and fixed ASAP! I read all the PSS related threads but nothing was specific unless I missed one other than I am not the first one to have this issue.
