    That looks like the very bottom- if it is around one of the bolts then it might be leaking. That seal around the gimbal is not a durable design...

    Yep bottom of the inner plate was just finishing the Gimble ring project just needed to put the drive back on a few minor things I’ll put the boat in and see if it leaks didn’t have the pump going on much last year so I’ll see what happens and hope I get a summer out of it

    I hate to say it but your problems could be much deeper than just replacing the transom Assembly. I had both of mine go. 1 last year and the other 4 years ago. Not only did the assembly break but caused quite a bit of fiber glass damage. I hope your sitting down for this but the total cost for EACH problem was over $15K. Transom had to be ground down and reglassed. Lots of labor. I hope your is not as bad but if it were me I would definitely get it checked out by a marine mechanic and have the transom looked at to be sure everything is OK............Good luck and keep us posted.

    So on my way to work stopped by the boat turned on the bilge and no water at all took a look and a little water on the bottom so now I don't know if I should rip it all apart for the inner transom I keep the boat on a small lake so its not like the boat sees any 4or 5 ft seas no pounding or banging ,I think Ill play it by ear and see how the season ends ..I know the saying if its not broke don't fix it ....It just worries me its there

    If the drip is definitely coming from the sender wires I think there is a bung that you can tighten that might seal it back up. You can always temporally seal that area with some 4200.
