I'm going nuts trying to keep water out of my Genesis hull. The boat is new, and I purchased the upgraded shaft from this site before I ever ran the boat. Has a 4082 leo motor and 180 amp esc. I love the hull but the water is driving me nuts!
The new shaft came with a new stuffing tube. It did not have a sealing washer but I have tried with and without washer, same results. I have packed every kind of grease in the shaft you can think of, it washes it out and leaves a pile behind the motor. I read online some were adding a piece of silicone tube to the shaft and shaft tube on the inside, tried that too....didn't work and I don't consider that a fix.
Any ideas? we are talking about 16 oz of water after a 3 min run.
Does the shaft itself have directional rotation? Meaning is the shaft assembled wrong and working the water up instead of down?
