I have an 88 baja sunsport with a 4.3L Mercrusier and Alpha one Outdrive. I filled my boat today with bilge cleaner and water just to clean it, as I do regularly, and notice while plug in, that i was leaking water from the outside of my transom from the two little holes on the sides of the exhaust bellow that goes to the hub. What exactly are those two holes, and what could be a cause of this leak? Noticed water in bilge this weekend when I was sitting in a cove with motor off. Not much, but enough to see and be concerned about.

If that is the case, the idle relief, is it possible to take water into the motor?
