I have a steady stream of water coming in through my shaft seal. My boat has less than 100 hours so that’s a bummer, but it is what it is. My question is: can the seal be tightened? I loosened the hose clamps and was able to slide the hose/seal up and down the shaft, but couldn’t figure out how to tighten the seal (brass fitting). I’ve read all the other threads about repacking/tightening the large nut. Problem is my boat doesn’t have that adjustment nut. Ideas?

I’m dealing with this right now. Based on year of boat I’m sure you have a dripless shaft seal, not to be confused with the older style with a packing nut that is adjustable and supposed to drip at a define rate.

Does yours look anything like this?:
