V Drive flange leak

[Sjbahr]

I have a 2006 XLV leaking water out of the shaft end of the flange that couples to the v drive. Is there an adjustment or do I have a bigger problem?

You need to tighten your shaft seal if I am understanding what you're saying correctly.

Theres a great thread by Cab on this do a search but basically you take two wrenches and slightly tighten the bolt by the shaft seal, where its leaking water. Then start the boat up and check dripping, you should have a slow drip. Dont over tighten it till theres no drips or you will burn the seal up.
