I've had this boat for over a year now and recently got it on the water only to find that it leaks badly from the rear. I can't see where the leak is coming from and am hoping someone with more experience would have some ideas.

Thanks,
Bill

Pull the propeller shafts and put a little grease(white lithium grease) into the
stuffing tubes, and the put the shafts back in(and out, to work the grease around) and
see if that helps.
