So i have a 2008 280 DA I bought in July. PO always had on lift and was pulled out and went to dealer every two years. I also keep on lift. Since this is the first year I owned it I had it pulled out and checked totally by a local marina.
The marina called and said they found the transom assembly tiler arm seals leak allowing water into the engine room on aft of engines.
I havent gone to look at yet, and honestly dont know what to look for. Im a little skeptical, maybe a lot!!. Does this make sense to wear out in 4 years? I havent got a repair price yet but another mechanic told me its not easy to get to--behind the engines. I have twin 4.3 with B111.
any body have a thought or tell me what i should look for when i go ?
Thanks
Dave
