How is the upper bellows leaking water when the boat is out of the water running on a hose?

I would say because the bellows is already full of water from being submurged and drips out from inside when on the trailer.

I am going to paste what i said above:

He has a rip in his bellows. The rip is on the side so only half of the water drains out. When he starts his engine on land, the u-joints whip up the water that is still in there making it leak out the rip.

OK my bad, if there is water stuck inside, that would make sense.
