I have a Calabria TS Sport Comp that is taking on water in the engine well. There is not any damage to the bottom, I think it must be coming in through the drive shaft seal.
has anyone dealt with this issue?
thanks,
Pete

Re: Taking on Water

I had the same issue with my 2001 Calabria VTS. It was the prop shaft seal leaking into the bilge. I lived with my leak for a year before it was large enough for me to find. The repair parts cost less than $5, that was even buying it at the dealer, it is just a peice of waxed rope that you repack the stuffing box with. There are several articals I found on the internet that will walk you through the repair. Hope this helps
