this is not really a problem but actualy a question. I have an omc 460 with thru hull exhaust. I am sick of my girlfirend complaining of the noice. I would like to have the optioin of silent choce. I have a Y shaped pipe that i was told i can install and the exhaust would exit out the drive like any normal boat. I want to get the manuel silent choice with a T pipe and a valve that can swith silent or thru hull. My question is right now the water from the engine exits through the thru hull exhaust. If i change it to exit out the drive will I have to do any other adjustments. I dont have a hole that i am aware of on my drive for the water to exit. what do i need to do?? i cant stand the noise from my boat or my girlfriend

There should be an exhaust port through the drive. It's probably been blocked off with a plate on the inside of the transom plate where thr Y pipe attaches. The motor will have to be removed to install the Y pipe.

Re: adding silent choice

Usually the motors have to be pulled to remove and install a Y pipe. I would suggest, if you think you can install it without removing the engine, by all means try it, you just might get lucky.
