1995 z275 water in bilge
 

So the last 2 times I've had the boat out after pull the boat out When I pulled my drain plug I get about a gallon of water that drains out. I've searched everywhere in the bilge and can't find any water leaks. Anyone have any ideas or common issues with our boats. Thanks guys.

Gimbal ring swivel pin seal, possibly

That's where my Z276 is leaking from. The gimble swivel pin seal.

When I cut the shrink wrap off at the beginning of this season i had my drive off along with the gimble ring, bellows and swivel pin. I replaced the swivel pin seal, swivel pin itself, stainless u bolt, bellows, driveshaft bellows retainer ring and used a new drive install kit. I'm wondering if one of my bellows didn't seal?

Zdeb0001, I put the plug back in mine and got the boat as level as possibe. Than, started filling her up with the water hose. I found a thru hull fitting with a leak. Then, I took the hose and sprayed in the area of the tillar arm/swivel pin from the inside and found the seal around the swivel pin was toast.

Wait your not supposed to have water come out after pulling the drain plug?
