I have a 1995 Four Winns 200 Horizon with a OMC Cobra 5.0 and transom mount of PN# 502APHUB. I have water leaking around the bottom of the transom mount but not from within the mount, It is coming fro between the hull and transom mount. Does anybody have any idea if it could be the transom seal or the transom? The transom doesnt flex when outdrive is picked up. I was thinking of replacing the transom seal kit but I am also not sure if I know how to do the work on it.

Welcome,
Got a pic of the area?
Most cases the transom isin't bad.
The seal can leak?
The exhaust down tube can leak?
The hose that contains the shift cable can leak?
The bellows can leak and leak into the engine compartment.Pull the drive to check for water?

The transom is rotten. Bet if you try to tighten the lower transom shield nuts inside, they will tighten while mashing the rotten wood.
