Really the only way to get water in the transmission is through the oil cooler. Must have a crack in it. Easy to replace.
It seems to be fairly common for them to leak a little oil through the shaft seal but that is a separate issue. You will probably need to change the oil in the trans a few times to get all the water out of the case. |

Kee, from experience and knowing the boating community......its more likely the plug was left in and the boat flooded, but again 2 sources of water would be the cooler and flooding the boat
