Hi,
I have a 1999 Mercruiser 5.7 inboard outboard with an Bravo III out drive. I recently heard some strange noise when in the water. I took it out of the water and started using a water hose connection. Water and exhaust are coming out of two little finger size holes under where the drive goes through the transom. Is this normal or is something stopped up. I have checked the bellows for leaks but it looks good. I would expect the exhaust and water to come out of the prop. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Do I have a busted Y exhaust?
