I have a 2004 sx drive. I bought the boat new. Found water in new gear lube after first time out this year.
replaced shaft seal, drain plug and dipstick o ring.
Replaced both bellows (u joint had hole in it).
Filled it wil new gear lube and yup water in it again.
I have pressure tested it and cannot find a leak.
Please help. In 5 days go on family vacation which centers around this boat.
What else is possible/probable to be the cause?

thanks in advance.

My bad....I thought mine was leaking a little, but it turns out it is not. The gear oil just looked a little like it does. Are you absolutely certain? Is it over filled? If so, how much? Maybe you can get through the vacation safely by keeping a close eye on it if the vacation is not too long?

I’m certain there is water.
Would be a huge risk to use it in the condition it’s in. Hoping to get it fixed.
