So the exhaust used to exit through the transom under the water line. I was coming back from steamboat to Black Meadow it sounded very strange when I slowed to an idle. Looked in the back and the 4.0" exhaust hose was destroyed and you'd be amazed at how fast water can fill a boat though a 4" hole plus the water exiting the engine. Wife jumps out, runs to get the trailer, I head to the ramp. There was so much water it the boat already that the blower belt was throwing it around like a geyser. Motor stalls, my friend was already there following me around to the ramp, so we tie to his boat and he stars towing me. His boat is a jet boat and those squirt pumps can't pull the weight for shit so we couldn't get it on plane to have the water start to drain while we're moving. It just kept filling more and more. wife gets the trailer in the water buddy does this rodeo maneuver and swings me into the the trailer. We get it cranked on and down she went. Filled that fucker with water all the way to an inch under the breathers. That was the third time I've had an issue with it, so now you understand the 2 stage pump and filling the transom and merging the exhaust.
