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. ------------- "working on these old boats may not be cost effective but as it shows its what it brings into your life that matters" -Roger http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4897" rel="nofollow - 1973 Skier |

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 ------------- "the things you own will start to own you" |
