I have had numerous boats, but have not seen this problem to this extent. Any ideas for me to try???
I'm having this same problem on the Apparition. Can't seem to figure out where the water is coming in. The next thing I'm going to try is to eliminate any extra space in between the prop dog and the strut. Since the hard prop shaft is captive, this might help reduce water intake if coming in via the shaft. I already have the shrink tube installed over the stuffing tube & strut and it did help reduce the shaft splatter.
