Hi, I'm new to boating. I have a 1984 renken with a 4.3 OMC. Is there supposed to be water in the exhuast. When I sart the motor with earmuffs on, water runs out of the rubber boot thatconnects the manifold to the outdrive. Is this OK? any help would be great.<br /><br /> Thanks, Duece

Re: water in exhaust

Yes, the raw water intake cools the engine and risers, and cools the entire exhaust system as it exits.
