when is the best time to check the packing and trans fluid. Cold or warm Ect. My shaft seems to drip more when in motion and after we dock it. is this normal. right now it drips about every 5 secs before use. Thanks for the help.
trans, boat in water, warm, and running in neutral. shaft packing should drip a few drops a minute, if it drips too much you can snug down the big brass nut. It should not get hot.
