- Single engine MerCruiser 496 mag with Bravo III
2002 280 Sundancer. Last season I had small (annoying) drip coming from just above the steering lever that goes through transom. There are two locknuts and flat washer that bolt to transom just above the steering lever where I think water is coming from. I can see rust on steering lever. Is there a simple fix? Boat is at Sea Ray dealership for winter storage and I asked them to look into leak. Got a call and they are saying solution 1. Pull engine and put new kit in (not sure what kit, but take it as gaskets) at a tune of $7,000.00. 2. They told me there is a after market kit where they pull lower unit for about $2,000.00. My question is there a simpler fix or am I getting a line of B.S. from dealer? Hopefully, I explained properly.
