I have a 1985
Pearson 36-2 and have been experiencing a leak while under
motor only. There does not appear to be any
water coming from the
engine or vicinity. For some time I thought it was
water "misting" from the dripless stuffing box as the water seems to first accumulate in the shallow sump under the stuffing box. After having done extensive adjustments and
repairs to the stuffing box and closely check where the water enters, it seems to be coming from somewhere in the aft section of the
boat as there seems to be s small stream of water coming forward through an aft limber hole, ONLY under
motor power. It occurs to me that it might be an
exhaust water leak but I have not ventured into the small space accessible through the post aft locker. Any thoughts?
