"when running a bravo 2 5.7l on the trailer, with muffs on lower unit, is all the exhaust and water from the engine suspossed to exit thru the prop hub, or part of it around the transom assembly? 97 model boat, i have a feeling some rubber needs replacing somewhere, will this hurt lower unit?"
 
Yes . Some water is suspossed

Yes . Some water is suspossed to exit from around the transom plate. This is called a idle relief.
The idea is to relieve some of the backpressure in the exaust system so the engine can breath better at idle.
 
make shure your water pick up

make shure your water pick up is not under the hull. may not pick up water when on the hose no water pump in bravo drive pump is mounted to engine depending on manufacture water pickup can be routed through drive or uner hull through sea water pickup
