Hi all you model boat builders and readers
I have just completed my first scratch built model trawler and boy am I happy with the result. I have a small problume though which I would be really greatful if some one can advise me on. I have fitted a prop shaft that came as a kit to the model and thought I should test the hull and mechanics for any leaks in the test tank (bath) The hull was fantastic and showed no issues of leakage more then I can say about the prop. After about 10 mins I noticed droplets of water entering the hull from the prop shaft. Dispite making the fitting as tight as possible and not to cause drag on the running gear it just dosen’t seem to stop. I fitted a prop feeder that I applied some greas down this has slowed the leak down but my cause some drag. Can anybody advise on what I can do to resolve the issue?
Looking forward to any surgestions
