Probably needs new packing. Can be done in the water but maybe wait till haul out or at least have experienced help. Be sure of correct size of packing. In the meantime leaking is better than burning the shaft till it needs replacing. I usually cut a couple of spanners out of plate and file to fit.That keeps the torque off the hose. Break that and weep.
