Water coming in from propeller arm

Hi guys,

I tested my boat on the water 2 days ago and discovered that some continuous droplets were coming in from the arm mechanism.

Can anyone help on how to fix this?

I read that it's normal to have few droplets coming from there but I guess not that many..

Thanks in advance !

That would be called the propeller shaft stuffing box.----See if you can tighten it up to slow down the leakage.----Or perhaps replace the packing in there.------Probably best to have boat out of the water to replace the packing rings.

Thanks for your quick reply! I'll try that !
