You will probably need new shaft seals. It will cost $1200 to $2000 to have it
done, depending on what else they find when the tear it apart. As long as you
keep up the fluid level you can continue to use it for the remainder of the
season. I used my boat for several weeks this way, but I went thru a lot of
transmission fluid. By the way, I tried several "stop leak" products and none
of them worked. You can look on my blog for a description of what I went thru
with mine. During the process I leaned that v-drive transmissions usually
require a rebuild every 1500 engine hours.

The last time I noticed fluid leaking from around Calypso's reduction gear it
originated from the oil cooler lines. Does Alegria's reduction gear have a
heat exchanger? If so how old are its hoses and have the zincs been checked
lately?
I agree with the other responses in that it is safe to operate as long as the
fluid level is kept up. For entertainment check out today's 'Lectronic
Latitude
(http://www.latitude38.com/lectronic/lectronicday.lasso?date=2014-09-03#Story4)
for a story on an engine lube oil leak that got out of hand.

Subject: Stus-List Red spots under transmission...Oh My!
We just completed our 2nd annual Grand Sailing Adventure - 2 weeks cruising.
We went over 500 miles (Racine WI to Charlevoix MI) and back and motored most
of it. Near the end I noticed transmission fluid leaking - or spraying -
underneath the trans. LF38 with a Westerbeke 27 and a V-Drive transmission.
I've never had any issues with oil or trans leaking. I checked the fluid
levels...no detectable decrease on the dipstick, but, there is only about a
quarter inch area at the bottom of the stick to show the fluid levels. When I
wiped the bottom of the trans off with a paper towel I could not detect where
the fluid was coming from. It doesn't appear to be a drip, but, more like a
spray just underneath the trans.
I might suspect some sort of seal between the trans and shaft, but, am pretty
clueless about how it is all put together.
Has anybody else encountered a similar problem? I am asking for a probable
diagnosis and how much trouble I am in for. I have about 6 weeks left in the
season with a few weekend sails and then, probably, motoring for 5 hours or so
to the winter haulout.
Am I safe to keep using it? It us usually pretty normal for a pretty loud
clunk when shifting from neutral to forward or reverse....but it hasn't slipped
or failed. yet...

Good one Dwight.
I bet many missed this, but my guess is that Dennis did not.

Hi Skip,
If those quarter stays are also known as running
backstays or checkstays it is not uncommon to
have them appear too short on a boat that is race
set-up. On typical windward-leeward courses when
running to the leeward mark your gybe angles will
not have the main let free as you might when cruising.
Also it is not uncommon to have the boom let onto
the slack (lee) checkstay at these gybe angles.
So for more gentlemanly sailing I suggest you add
a bit o' length to these lines.
Cheers, Russ

On the Wing and Wing thing I'm with Josh. I don't have a whisker pole and
I discovered that using the method Josh described it's actually pretty easy
to keep the 135% jib full without a pole. I'm on a lake without swells so
a preventer is not really needed, just keeping a close eye on the sails /
helm / wind gauge does the trick.
However.. If you want to go fast down wind without a spin you're very
likely to be better off going broad reach and gybing. It's more work but
VMG does not lie. I've tested it in racing situations and even on pretty
short legs it's faster as long as you respect the laylines.. This will
become clearer if you can check your boat's polars. ( if you can find them)
You can read-up on VMGon these sites:
