So my boat has been in my driveway for a couple of weeks and hasn’t been ran yet. Had her all waxed ready to splash tomorrow and then I noticed a small oil circle on the driveway and it’s coming from the prop. Does this look like a front prop seal to you guys?

    Good thing you noticed before putting the boat in.  Definitely get pressure and vacuum tested as Al mentioned.  Hopefully you'll get her fixed and in soon! :)

    @Alswagg without taking the props off is there a way if you can tell if the shaft bearings are gone? My regular mechanic is saying its fairly common and its a regular repair. I also have another guy telling me my bearing on the shaft is probably gone but hasn't seen the drive yet to tell me for sure. lol
