dripless gland

[stjoe210]

Hey all! I have a 2008 Nautique 210 w/ pcm v drive. I noticed this morning I have a water leak under the v drive that gradually gets worse at higher speeds. I'm thinking its a dripless packing gland failure. Is this a common thing with boats that are ten years old? Does this need to be addressed ASAP or during winter lay up? Thanks for the time and info.

It can get dirty and not seal properly. Sometimes simply pulling the gland back while in the water will clear if out.

Watch so videos on it to see how it works. It's pretty easy to service but difficult to get too.
