Fresh bottom paint, new anodes, and all the other little stuff crossed off the list, the boat was ready for spring!
...until I noticed a nice puddle of gear lube under the (recently repaired) outdrive :facepalm:. Local shop wants $700 to replace the inner propshaft seal (not including the removal of the drive, which is being handeled independantly).
Does this sound about right? Should I have them replace anything else while they're elbow-deep in the outdrive? I *am* glad that I noticed it in storage, instead of AFTER it blew up from using it with low lube / a bad seal all summer.
Thanks!
