"1994 Bayliner/Trophy w/5.7 al
"1994 Bayliner/Trophy w/5.7 alpha one - water leaking into bilge, a little while sitting in the water, more when cruising. I'm pretty sure it is the Y pipe connection at transome assembly, which would require engine removal and who knows what else. With everything dry outside the boat (on trailer) I started filling the bilge up to the starter, I soon noticed water seeping out the exhaust ports - I didn't notice any coming out the hub though. My question - Can I convert to top water exhaust? I could remove the outdrive and install an exhaust cover plate, simple, right? Then plumb the exhaust like any other go fast (without the fast) I get 40mph wot. What are your thoughts?"
