Taking on water under throttle

[B0at1n]

I have the 19 AR190.

I've noticed over the past few weeks the bilge pump kicking on after running on plane for more than a few minutes.

I looked a few times and was unable to tell where the water was coming from.

I noticed the clean out plug is no longer holding water above it as well

So tonight I was out on The lake and decided to look again. I noticed it looks like the water is being pumped in near the intermediate bearing. It’s under pressure but doesn’t happen at idle rpm.

The boat has 450 hours on it and I have done all the services myself. I'm wondering if it's possible that I haven't been putting enough grease in the bearing seal.

If that's the case is there a visual way to see when there is too much grease in the bearing if I started to fill it to see if it stopped the flow of water?

@BOat1n .....my manual (2020 SX195) says 1.11-1.18 oz. of grease at 10 hours or one month then .20-.27 0z. of grease every 100 hours or six months. So, I think you could put 1/3 ounce in and see if that does the trick without hurting anything but it does sound like a bearing housing seal.

450 Hours on a 2019? Damn, you certainly get a lot of use out of your boat!
