I have developed what sounds like an exhaust leak however only when boat is in the water...not on muffs. All the gaskets and elbow gaskets have been replaced..any ideas

Ayuh,.... At idle, run yer hand around all the exhaust gasket joints,....

If there's a leak, you'll know it, when ya find it,....

Another way is to squirt some auto magic transmission fluid in the carburetor. If there is a exhaust leak you will see the smoke.
