We took the boat out today and the kids complained that they were getting wet in the back seat. I looked down and saw that water was hitting the caps on the ends of the pin in the rearward rams and spraying up and into the boat. Adjusting the trim up or down a bit makes it go away but it seems to spray most right in the sweet spot. We were going around 30 mph.

I had just pulled the outdrive last week so perhaps I damaged the bushings which is now allowing a bigger gap and more water into the cap. This was not a problem in the past.

weird. I suppose you could stick an oring in the gap to fill it.
