Groaning from the cutlass bearing in 411 from the volvo shaft seal

[411 owners]

Last week I noticed and muffled sound when leaving the dock. I soon put up the sails and shut the engine. It got loader under sail. I tried putting her in reverse but that did not help. After an hour or so I returned home and felt the drive shaft. It was quite hot.I squeezed the black rubber seal and some water squirted out. I also sprayed some lubricant at the shaft at the seal. I have not taken her out again. Has anyone encountered this issue and what was the resolution?

You might want to check your engine feet to see if they have loosened and put  your shaft out of alignment. >

Another thing to check is to make sure that you have enough Blue Volvo Grease in the Dripless.
