185 4.3 leaks 2007

Anyone experienced water leakage when in the water only on the Alpha One. Bellows, shifter cable bellows all seem to be in good shape. This is a 2007 model with only 14 hours and stored on trailer when not in use. Seems like a simple problem but giving us fits.

Need more info. Any thru-hull fittings? Does it leak tied off at the dock?

Found the leak by filling bilge while on trailer. It was leaking around seal on drain plug flange, Would seem to me they would use a rubber gasket but only found a little sealant when removing flange. Thought for sure it was one of the bellows but this was a easier fix. Thanks
