looking for a little help! just put the boat back in the water, started her up and noticed there is water coming out the top - might always have been this way, just never noticed it. we recently pulled the outdrive and greased the engine coupling which was dry.

thanks!

I don't ever recall that much coming from that area. Did you by chance change the exhaust bellows? Maybe it's torn, or has a failed section. Should be able to check it the condition, just raise the drive and have a look. Some exhaust will come up from that are, but to me it looks excessive. Post a pic of that area with the drive raised.

Pulled the boat, bellows look good, no signs of damage. When we pulled the drive we did replace the o-ring for the intake. Took the boat out a bit, temp is good, runs good.

No idea if the water out the top is normal or not
