Pulled Outdrive, motor and reinstalled Outdrive to take down to launch ramp to pinpoint leak, could’ve only been 3 things, transom assembly gasket, trim house manifold block gasket or y pipe gasket, all of which are brand new.
Turned out being transom assembly gasket, retightened inner transom plate to spec and stopped leak on the spot.
Took back to shop and removed outdrive, reinstalled engine and realigned before putting outdrive back on.

Read through most of the thread. Looks really good. Better built that when it left the factory.

I could never find the drive to do this but my hats off to you for seeing it through.

You now have a boat you can be confident in.-----Likely near $100,000 to buy a 25 footer like that new these days.-----Certainly worth the effort I think.-----Go get some walleye on Erie.
