Re: Any original Nineteen owners out there?
Ga boater is right. If someone came to me with a water leak the LAST place i would start or assume would be a bad transom. The FIRST place i would start would be the shift bellows, and the drive shaft bellows next. there is a seal that goes around the transom plate where it mounts to the boat, but i have seen FAAAAAAAAR more boats with a torn bellows. If it were me i would tilt the drive all the way up, then take a very good look at the rubber bellows (look like accordian boots) under the drive. pay special attention to the little one on the starboard side, and the biggest top one. the bottom one is simply the exhaust.
