Hi all, I need some help I have a drive fluid leak on my 2013 Bayliner 175 80 hrs with 3.0 mercruiser with alpha one drive somewhere. I took it to one mechanic and he told me it was cover nut inside the drive that was completely lose, I paid him to fix it, change oil, water pump, spark plugs etc... 3 weeks later I took the boat out for the 1st time since the fix and the oil is gone again (resevor completely empty after 30 min on the water). Took it to a different mechanic a few days ago and today got some pictures from him. He is shocked at what he saw when he took the drive apart. He said the whole thing is rusty from water getting into the drive for some time, he said he can't believe the 1st mechanic didn't say anything about it. He said the boat is pretty new with low hours and he has never seen anything this bad on such a new boat. He said I am looking at 1-2k fix... has anyone experienced this before? Am I missing something? Are they pulling my leg? The mechanic is making it sound like this is a really big deal so I asked him to write up a quote on what exactly needs to be fixed... he said something needs to be sent somewhere to get recoated or resurfaced or something like that.
