Leaky bottom
Posted: Thu Nov 21, 2019 6:17 pm
My Sabre leaks in the stern.
From observation it is now clear that the leakage only occurs when under power. The boat is 'dry' when moored or under sail.
Does the forum believe I should look at a) stuffing box or b) cutlass bearing.
Thoughts/input very much appreciated as stripping either is going to involve a fair bit of work and I would prefer to start with the most obvious candidate
