Trying to figure out if my leak is coming from the transom seal or the out drive. It leaks without the motor running and I'm wondering if it can even be through the outdrive in this case?

There are three possible places. Either around or thru the intermediate/transom boot, thru the passageway that the electric shift cable comes thru or (not likely) thru the tilt motor mounting area.

Thanks Boomyal,<br /><br />I found that the electric shift cable had been pulled free. I've reinserted, siliconed, and the leak is gone.<br /><br />Thanks for your help!!!!
