Hey everybody. My name is Ashley and I am new to this boating hobby. I have a 1996 crownline ski boat with 450 hours. I have a slow leak that is causing my bilge pump to run 247. First problem was my bellows then I fixed that then I was wakeboarding and let my friend drive my boat and they ignored the red boey and hit a shollow spot and ran my boat on it and eversince then I have had a slowleak. It's coming from a black plastic piece that is mounted right above my drain plug and it looks like the a housing for the outidrive here it meets the boat there is a litte cornerbroken off and thy is my slow leak. I'm curious about how much this is going to cost me and what that part even is. I'm sorry it's confusing to read but im concerned. Thank you for taking the time to read this to help me out

Welcome to iboats Ashley.

While we appreciate your attempt to describe the damaged parts of your boat, we REALLY need pictures to accurately access the damage and offer sound advice.

Welcome to iBoats . . . don't you hate it when friends drive your boat? Anyway, it sounds like an issue with the transom assembly, but a few pictures would do wonders.
