View the latest post Attachment(s) Water leak around dripless bearing


Carver 406 - I have a pretty significant water leak between my port dripless shaft bearing and the blue hose behind it that is supposed to keep sea water from entering. I hit a log yesterday (no vibrations afterward, but it did kill the port engine so I had to restart) and that seems to have caused the problem. The leak is at a rate of about 15 gallons per hour, so the bilge pumps can easily keep up. I am now in port so have closed the through-hull, but the leak continues, so it must be coming from the stern. Looking at the area, there is a 1/4" gap between the raised part of the bearing and the blue pipe, while on the starboard side they abut each other. Can I loosen the clamps and push the bearing further into the blue pipe, or just tighten the clamps? Can I safely repair this in port? Any suggestions welcome. Thank you.
