OPSA leaking

[ronhap17]

Starboard seal hose is leaking on 2007 gtx, have shop manual but it is not much help on replacing the hose. Not sure how new hose gets in or out most important is now is it sealed. Thanks

Do you mean..the opass bellows,,,the pressure hose will not leak,,,the connection can leak,,,or the seal at the bracket can leak,,,pics please.

I have no pictures, I can hear water coming in on starboard side so I guess it leaking thru were the arm comes thru the tube to the vane. If I lean on port side getting starboard side up out of water I don’t hear water anymore

If the bellow has a crack...the water will seap in slowly,,,if the seal (silicone), at high pressure hose is gone,,,it will rush in...remove the paddle,,remove the inner and outer brackets,,,pull the pressure hose out as far as possible ,,at the shop,,,to start,,,we tilt the ski up as far as the license plate allows,using our tow motor or pulley,,,etc...,,then we fill the back end with water,,,and wait to see the leak area,,,and then go from there,

Thank you for the hint to tip the ski on the trailer, with water inside the ski, and see where the leak may be coming from. I was out on my 2007 GTI SE for a full day yesterday and ended up with significant water in the ski at the end of the day, so I have a leak somewhere…
