De-winterized today and when finished, I noticed that water was dripping around the driveshaft under the boat. There was a little water in the bilge before I started but I didn't notice any more collecting in there while the boat was running. Didn't fell any moisture around shaft inside motor compartment. Should this be a concern? If so, what is the fix?
Boat is a 2014 Mondo purchased at the end of last season and used for 6 hrs. before winterizing.
Thanks.

That is normal with a dripless seal. It is plumbed into the water line to lubricate the shaft. It sprays water out the bottom of the boat at the shaft exit.
