Proper Exhaust Cooling

I experienced 2 bellows failures (burn holes) after having repairs due to a very close encounter with a sand bar. The motor was flushed to remove the sand, the water pump was replaced, and I added a water pressure guage. Water pressure is good (>25 lbs) and the motor does not seem to run hot to the touch (no guage). Is it likely that the water injection jets for the exhaust gases are still plugged? (I'm not all that confident in the work I had done and would not take it back to same place again)<br /><br />If this is a possibility, can someone describe what I need to disassemble (water manifold, etc.) and clean?<br /><br />Thanks in advance

Your Risers are Plugged........<br />Water pressure is Way Too High.......<br />And,<br />You Really Need a Temp Gauge.........

I agree with Bondo. At 25lbs you are lucky you are not blowing out something (hose, freez plug etc).
