[C320-list] Leaking shaft log

[Mark Haralson]

Thanks for the reply Stephen,

I should have provided more detail, the leak is from the shaft log area as
it exits the hull and before the clamps and the rubber hose.  I think it
was possibly cracked during the removal of the old shaft or installation of
the new shaft or it could have been there previously.  The stuffing box
portion is working as expected.  I am thinking having the boat lifted, then
cleaning and sanding the area and then applying a small layer of fiberglass
and then monitor the area.  If anyone has had a similar issue or any advice
on repairing I am open to suggestions.

thanks
Mark
