water in my MG. Where from?

[maxmekker]

Well the story on how I got the boat will have to wait, but it's only been 6 runs since unboxing. And today I found a good amount of water spray on the lid.
Is this from a bone dry axel ?, All I did today was lower the propp some mm to test after i hooked on the prather 215 from my S crusher. No water spray before today.
Thanks

you might try taking a suringe(without a needle) and pressure testing the cooling system just fill all the lines with water and plug the water outlet and apply slight pressure with suringe should be able to see where water is leaking from

Since it appears to be some sort of spray it looks like its coming up the flex shaft tube... that or you've got a leaky seal on the motor cooling can which is hitting the spinning collet

First I would pressure test. Another thing to try is to put some electrical tape around the stuffing tube where it meets the strut, see if that stops it.

Did you grease the flex?

[martin]

Put a piece of silicon tube over the end of the tube & flex & make sure you remove the flex & grease every time you go out.

Thanks 4 the tip's.

I don't know if the flex is greased, grease is on it's way in the post as we speak. Just got the boat handed over to me,and don't know what the owner did. Last night was the first run with it alone , but when I went with the owner the first time last week , not a drop of wather inside. All I have done is a prather 215 prop and lower the strut a few mm. (story on how it became my boat in another tread soon)

more grease more grease

You need to grease it so the oil acts like a seal
