I noticed yesterday that the Volvo blackjack stern gland is dripping, not gushing, but
enough to be of concern. It seems to fill the bilge at about 3-4 inches per 24 hours. The
boat has been repowered with a Beta. Does anyone know if I can solve this problem while
still in the water? I'm thinking that perhaps I can push the shaft out a few inches and
replace the bearing. Any ideas out there?
