Rick, you shouldn't have to drain any water from the machine. The thing shouldn't leak at all I don't think. My ARGO Magnum leaks a lot after its been in the water for about 20 minutes, but other than that, its fine. I know that if I am floating in water and I feel little drops of water hitting my face and they smell like gas, than the bilge pump goes on. Last time i was at the cottage, I drained the water out, and I can't figure out for the life of me where its comming in, but I must have easily drained out enough to fill a washerfluid jug of water. The plugs don't leak I don't think because they are tight as hell to get in and I actually have to pound them into place and then flipping the little thing on them down, thats another battle. |

Max factor, check the bearing flange bolts, make sure they are uniformly tight and put a squirt or two of grease in the bearing cavity. 99.9 percent of leaks in Max are the bearing flange bolts not being uniformly tight.
If in fact it is a bearing, yes, they are fairly easy to change, order the service manuals and you will have no trouble. |

MAX FACTOR, IF YOU FIND THE FLANGES ARE TIGHT ENOPH BUT BEARING IS STILL SLOPY INSIDE THE FLANGES YOU CAN REFRESH THE FLANGE HALFES WITH A FEW TAPS OF A HAMMER GOIN AROUND THE RAISED EDGE AND AGENCED A BLOCK OF WOOD, WHILE YOUR CHAINGING THE BEARINGS,
DURING REASEMBLY YOU SHOULD FIND THE FLANGES ARE LIKE NEW! |

max factor, I've used a floor jack to lift my max, but just to be on the safe side I used a short piece of 2x4 about a foot or so long between the jack and the max just to distribute the weight a little. It works fine. |
