on a volvo penta 3.0 sx c outdrive, does the exhaust exit thru the prop only....

Had trouble with motor dieing yesterday in the water after it warmed up...hopeing to just lower outdrive into a larger tub of water to mimic and repair without it having to be in the water..... hopeing to get the same exhaust back pressure as if it were in the water

Runs fine on muffs at 1000 rpm at idle, but I'm thinking idle is to low out of the water since once it warmed up it died...

I know simple answer is just up the idle at the lake, problem is im disabled and working on a boat in the water doesn't work for me....but I can somewhat on the trailer without rocking and rolling
