Hi Larry,

Not that I am aware of unfortunately...And I don't know the history of the boat. I'm hoping to get to the boat this weekend and look at the bellows again anyways. I have boast stored 45 minutes away so can't look now.

If you can, leave it on the trailer as you back it into water.
Try to find the point where the water comes in.
I use a gas powered leaf blower to find leaks in hot tubs...if you can get one it might help.
Do the basics like the drive, shift bellows, cooling lines, before looking for a leak and you might find the problem.
Don't look for a hull leak before the basic wear parts.

This may sound like a stupid question but have you put it on gear and actually seen the prop engage? My initial impression was it looks like the shift cable orifice. Although after looking at it again it is prob too lateral to the out drive... Alpha or Bravo?

I retract my last question. It clearly states Alpha on the motor! Apologizes

When you get a chance take some pictures of the transom (outside rear of the boat). Take a few side pictures as well (anywhere that you might see a hole in the boat lol). It's hard for me to imagine where that hole is based on the picture. Does it go straight through the backside of the boat?

Have you had a chance to start the motor and engage the drive on it? Have you bought a set of muffs and hooked it to a garden hose?

Does the boat have any signs of "fishing" equipment on it? electronis...perhaps rod holders.. cushions removed and replaced with carpeted boards like a deck on a bass boat.. etc? I looked at a Marada that started out as an open bow that someone decided to "modify" into a bass boat.. perhaps someone decided to add a live well and didn't get any further than the hole lol.

Good luck, keep us posted!

I have the same boat I will look today.

That is something aftermarket. My boat is 100% factory and has nothing in that area. Seal that hole up and you should be good to go.
