I have a 2007 3.0L Alpha One. I just recently had the exhaust manifolds a riser replaced.
2nd day out on the water the exhaust bellows came off at the stern drive. Transom side OK. I put the bellows back on and hooked it up to a hose and started the engine. Everything ran fine but I noticed that the only exhaust water was coming out the transom port on the starboard side. Only a little water and exhaust coming out the port side.
Additionally there was a spittle of water coming out the center of the stern drive, under the bellows. (See video). Last point - only a small amount of water spraying out the prop

- Running the engine for about 10 minutes after the bellows came loose. Potential for any damage?
- Is there a problem if the exhaust water is only coming out the starboard side and not the port side transom exhaust port? Or the low amount of spray out the prop?
- When the exhaust manifolds were replaced, could the mechanic have done something wrong to cause the uneven flow?
