    I have a 23 ft boat with an 89 Cobra outdrive. While the boat was backed in the water at the launch ramp, some water leaked out of the shift cable but when the boat was slid off the trailer it stopped leaking. Do I have cause for concern or was it because the cable was below the water line while still on the trailer? Any help would much appreciated. Don V

    It happens when a ramp is too steep.
