V-Penta Transom

[rocky01]

Hey everyone,

I need to know how to replace the seal between the transom plate and hull.
Does anybody have a part number?
AQ130d 270/280? 17ft Ranger Pleasure/River boat...
Getting water in a slit on the bottom of the seal.
I filled up bilge area and jack the nose of boat(I know that's not name) high and water
came out at slit. I have no other leaks I can see when boat was in water.
Transom could be bad, bolts don't look too sunken though. I am looking to get through
spring and summer season and then i'm re-doing transom and floor if necessary.

Thanks in advance to all you pro's/weekend warriors!!!

One more thing I backed boat into lake and the bilge filled up in 5min and auto pump came on.
Checked exhaust hose, no leak, checked top bellows no real sign of a slit, could be shifter cable
but where would it leak into boat.

Thanks.

Re: V-Penta Transom

The shift cable runs through a hose attached to the shield, the clamp at the shield will rust away. Don't try to change the fitting, cut the hose back and reclamp with a quality SS clamp. There are also 5 o-rings between shield and exhaust tube.

If you have to reseal the shield, the eng and exhaust tube need to be removed anyway. You'll know how bad the transom is when you pull everything.

#20 in the link is the seal. Make sure to use all new seals. I like to add Permatex #3 with the seals as well. Some may not...
