Hello, while I don't believe it is defective drive well engineering, I too have a leak in the front of my rear drive on my tandem. It's a Mirage. I bought it used, so I don't have the history. We used it three times with no issues. Then it began to leak. I believe it is at the very, very front where to two yellow pieces (the yellow oval and the deck) weld together. Two questions:
1. Is the black drive housing supposed to be 'glued' to the yellow top oval?
2. Do you have any recommendations on how I repair this leak in this very tight spot? Should I simply squirt as much glue into the area, replace the black housing before it hardens, and hope for the best?
Here's some images:
The Kayak:
Gap between yellow oval and black housing. should this be glued?
The Drive Well with the leak.
Location of leak between yellow oval and yellow deck
Location of the leak is at the very front of the opening, but it's hard to access.
Thank you
