You can see the water coming in? Or are you guessing? My boat had spider cracks behind the post. Those from previous owner groundings I suppose. And those leaked.
I dont see any water from the post it seems to be wet around fhestuffing box. I put two new raps in couldnt get any more .the hose clips are tight.
So the top of the stuffing box is wet. And when you tightened the box it didn't go metal to metal, still some space for more adjustment?
