Salt water leak

[kenny nunez]

2Xs with Scott06. I have had a leak from one of the rubber exhaust hoses , with the engine running wrap your hand around the rear of the pipe below the clamps.

Someone bumped the y pipe connection. Y pipe bolts to internal housing. You will have to pull motor. This is not uncommon.

No just when engine running.

If an Alpha drive, The raw water hose from the transom to the engine cooling system may be leaking at the transom fitting or the hose itself, since the raw water pump is in the drive lower unit. But the Y pipe would leak all the time, since it is below the water line.

If a Bravo, and it's not leaking while sitting in the water and engine off, the leak is NOT below the water line (ie: NOT the Y pipe at the transom connection), since the raw water pump is attached to the engine.

It has to be on something above the water line (or an Alpha drive) for that drip to be present only while running
