Date Posted: November-15-2004 at 8:26pm while fishing the other day i noticed water leaking into boat we fished approx 5 hours and picked up approx 2 gal of water could it be leaking around seals or shaft boat shows no cracking or holes but has some leak somewhere any ideas plz post ty Replies: Posted By: captan1 Date Posted: November-15-2004 at 9:08pm I know I have a leak in my 78 and I'm guessing it's my mufflers/hose connections, under water while still. I rebedded with 3M 5200 all the underwater intrusions into the hull last summer, the only other spot I need to check soon is the rudder packing, probably notorious for neglect. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=452&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1978&yrend=1978 - 1978 Ski Nautique Posted By: Rick Date Posted: November-16-2004 at 3:27am I have a leak in my 2000 SN. I thought it was the steering gear but after repacking it continues. I now beleive it is from a drain plug in the muffler that has poped out or the muffler has worn a hole in itself. Unfortunately you have to remove the whole back end including the gas tank to access it. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=250&yrstart=1996&yrend=2000%20" rel="nofollow - 2000 Ski Posted By: Guests Date Posted: November-16-2004 at 11:17am i think the leaking could be coming from around the shaft or the speedomiter placment the boat is a 66 mustang and i don't belive anything has ever been resealed ty Posted By: Rick Date Posted: November-16-2004 at 1:34pm Repacking thre shaft is really easy. You should have 1-3 drips a minute from the shaft when running to keep it cool. There are several articles on repacking on this site. Just do a search. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=250&yrstart=1996&yrend=2000%20" rel="nofollow - 2000 Ski
