Leak from transom shield
Hopefully just change gasket on transom. Boat needs some other work but basically sound and many new parts. Anyone with experience with this or has same boat or just want to say hello (and hope all goes ok). Thanks

Re: Leak from transom shield
Some of the more common areas for water intrusion are; u-joint or shift cable bellows, gimbal ring upper swivel seal, gear lube fitting if applicable. If the leak is through the u-joint bellows, you want to get it out of the water asap or your u-joints will be sitting in water for a while which is not a good thing and can get pricey if the input shaft assembly has to be replaced due to corrosion.
Is this a salt water application?

Bought last year. Was used for 30 years in freshwater on Lake Erie. Bought it mid summer last year, brought to NJ.
