    Default Leaking Rudder Box

    So I noticed a small leak coming from the top of my rudder box the other day. It looks like replacement parts have a grease fitting to grease it, but mine does not that I can see. I would assume grease would help to keep water out. Any ideas? Do I just need to remove the rudder and replace the seals?

    Here is a cut away of an aftermarket.

    I did this early in the season. There is only 1 single O-ring that keeps water out and a carbon based wear sleeve. The new O-rings are slightly thicker and made from Viton. I had an extra set of hand on the outside of the boat but it only took ~2hrs from start to finish. Skiers ditched the grease fitting version in 2004-ish for this new style.

    I did a write up on it and posted it somewhere.
    If you go the aftermarket route the grease fitting is installed after the box is installed and you you will need de-bond to get the old 1 off.

    I have an extra O-ring straight from the OEM that makes them for SC. PM me and I'll throw it in the mail.
