I was prepping our boat for a sail to Cape May next week and found this at the shaft seal. I don't know how long it has been like this but it was enough for me to re-think our trip. Luckily, it will be replaced on Tuesday so we should be GTG. BTW, doesn't it look like the bellows is way over-compressed? The original owner installed this and I don't know how long ago. Accordingly, it had been on my mind to replace it - but I should have done it no later than last winter. This is going to cost me a haul out. I might have taken the opportunity to replace the motor mounts at the same time if I had only done it in the winter, but I don't want an extended haul out now.
No leaking to even set off a preliminary alarm!
