Just bought a skip Jack 20 with aq231 and 290a-single prop. I overfilled 290a now I have a leak at prop shaft. Should I tear apart entire drive and replace all seals, replace drive with new one or just replace prop shaft seal.
A little more info would help. Did you overfill it and run it? If so it more than likely had no room to expand and forced it's way out. Start with emptying the drive and pressure check it to make sure it's actually leaking. If you filled it and there was a big temp swing it could have forced it's way out also.
I've been told 1988 Volvo penta 290 aren't worth the headache that's why not sure if I should waste time fixing.i would like to fix it just because it all original with 340hrs in entire boat.

Well fixed the seals thanks guys! Now have a hydraulic leak out the connector tube on the trim after I rebuilt them. The previous owner stripped the hole where the connecting tube should go. Should I just buy a new one or can I have the hole tapped?
