Leaking Hydraulic Paragon HF-2

[colombo]

I have '60 CC Sea Skiff w/ hydraulic paragon HF-2 which is leaking oil. I can't actually see where t is coming from but it seems like it is leaking from between the propeller shaft couplings. Is that possible? Appreciate any ideas / info.
Thanks, Dave

I have had 2 Sea Skiff's and one did leak from the rear of the gearbox, through the main shaft seal at the rear of the drive. Easy to fix, just remove all of the fluid, remove propeller shaft and coupling, and seal will pry out very easy. Clean shaft with oil rag and tap new seal into place. Reassemble coupling and propller shaft, fill gearbox with new ATF fluid to proper level.
