    proper drive shaft water flow?

    New 08 Z1 owner..love the boat so far..
    Took it out over the weekend and when I pulled the plug, no water in the bilge...
    My question- how much water should be "dripping" on the drive shaft?
    My old boat - MC prostar 190 would always have water in the bilge after a day on the lake. From what I remember, this should be on the order of several drips per minute.

    None. You have a dripless seal.

          can a dripless seal be tightened? or if its leaking does it need replacing?

            If its a PSS dripless you can tighten it (though the bellows should have been preloaded properly by the factory). Can you tell where its leaking from? Could it be a ballast leak or something else?
