I forgot where the neopreme gaskets go on thr bowthruster,

inside or outside? Does someone remember?

When kimberlite arrived in St Martin there was a small amount

of sail drive oil on the engine room sole . I inspected it and
found that there is a rubber tyoe hose that connects the
saildrive to the hull.

It is held in place by 4 hose clamps about 6 inched in

diameter. I purchased the wide hose clamps with a bolt in it.
the type used on large marine exhausts. i replaced the 4 clamps
with the 2 wider ones and the leak seems to have stopped. the
original clamps were actually loose.

If you have this setup , I would suggets tightening the hose clamps.
