I have a 96 volvo Penta 3.0 with an SX-C1 outdrive on a Larson Bowrider... I was recently towing another boat in reverse (unusual situation)... and after 4 minutes I was ankle deep in water.
the boat has been on a mooring for years without an automatic bilge pump and is quite dry otherwise...
I have tested it, and water comes in thru the cut in the transom beside the large exhaust manifold... but only while under load in reverse.
The attached pic shows the transom on the left, flywheel housing right, exhaust and flooding...
What could it be?
