[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 432761, member: 13599"] this is a concern in all shaft drives in vehicles, equipment and motors. my coworker ran over a plastic drycleaning bag on the road and it wrapped around the driveshaft - slowly working its way into the seal of the transmission ..... it breached the seal and all the transmission fluid leaked out - completely destroying it. so, whether it be your boat motor, car or piece of equipment, take this issue seriously. if you run over a plastic bag on the road, make sure you see it exit in your rearview mirror. if you don't see it - check under your vehicle at your earliest convenience. if you see oil leaking out of a seal that has not leaked before, something is not right and must be investigated before serious damage occurs.
