XJ - Call supreme directly. When I was buying my boat I called them and I was able to get the regional sales rep to call me.(Not that my dealer wasn't awesome but I didn't know them well and I wanted to ask direct questions) He will take care of you. The dealer should be taking care of it and supreme PAYS them an hourly rate to do so.(and sends them the parts needed, if any)

You could do the line pinch and narrow it down, if you just pinch the water line that goes to the shaft seal before pulling it out of the water it would eliminate that line and any water coming out of there would be bilge water. You could also just leave your plug in on the trailer and fill your bilge with water, if it starts leaking as soon as the level gets even with the shaft seal it would be an easy sell to the dealer. I'm sure they don't want to do the work...shaft seal replacement sucks and it comes with an engine alignment that also sucks....pretty time consuming job. My best friend lives in Durango, great town.

Most of those new dripless seals have a water supply line attached, depending what outlet they used to attach to the seal housing you could be pulling pressurized water off the motor, or draining some sort of engine cooling line. If you can get half a look at where your prop shaft seal line hooks up for coolant you could pinch it off for a minute before pulling it out of the water to be sure. The only other possibility is the shaft seal itself is leaking and you would know because your whole bilge would be full of water. There is simply not enough space in the housing for it to hold that much water....my guess is you are draining the orifice the seals coolant line is hooked to and probably not a big deal at all. I am not a dealer or a boat mechanic as a profession...I just work on everything myself or I cant own a multitude of toys I would barely be able to afford one. So take my guess for what its worth....near nothing, ask my wife.
