"Been working too long in the heat, did something a little dumb. Was leaking unit oil from the seal behind the u-joint, and took the unit off when I really didn't need to. Got that fixed, but when all was said and done I never got the exhaust boot banded to the unit. It is in place at the transom. Sounds a little funny but seems to run and cool just fine. This is a 32 ft. steel boat, and I tried to band it up from a sandbar, and couldn't seem to get my hands in there, probably have to pull this pig out to fix.
My question, is this doing any harm? The boot is in place and kind of pointing at the port in the unit.......... The exhaust still leaves the boat, not in the hold......
Thanks in advance. Steve Mellis"
