Sail Drive Seal Leak on our Leopard48 – Fishing Line around Prop Disaster – Feb2021

Captain Stephen recently noticed some milky colored oil in our sail drive, when changing out a leaky O-ring. So, back to Thunderbolt Marine in Savannah – closest place that can haul out boat out of the water.

What did we find? Fishing line wrapped around the prop tightened up and cut through the seal.

WWWilliams did the sail drive seal replacement and also replaced a couple bearings. This repair job was pretty efficient. Out of the water at 730AM, repair done by 2PM, back in the water next day at 730AM. Back in business.

Thanks all!
