Slow leak

[93seaswirl]

Hello everyone I've got a Seaswirl that has a slow leak, it's in the shop now and they located what it might be, the rubber boot that goes around the gimbal bearing had a hole in it(it was dry rotted) it has had rust stains so it had to be leaking for awhile, he told me my transom is fine as well, he said he wasn't going to say 100% that the boot was causing the leak but said it was a good possibility, is there anyone that would now what else may cause a leak ? I will be getting it back next week.

The bellows? That would be a very real possibility.

It is the big one in the center, it wasn't the exhaust bellows but the one where the gimbal bearing is. I have a video of the leaking but I'm not sure how to upload it

Ayuh,.... That'll absolutely let water into the hull, No question 'bout it,.....
