water leaking

[Robin]

Hi,

I've got a question about boats.
How do you solve the problem of leaking water in at the drive shaft of
the proppellor/ motor?

I only have made so far airboats.

I can't say I've ever had a problem with water leaking in around the
flex shaft. If you're moving forward at any speed you certainly
shouldn't be getting any water coming in that way. Doug
