Took boat out last saturday and noticed a few drips. Fist was on the front of exhaust manifold there is a cap that has a gasket behind it. (easy as a new gasket I assume) next there is about a 3-4" hose that connect to bellhousing that is dripping. There is a hose clamp that I have not tried to tighten as of yet but if that does not solve where do I buy these exhaust hoses or are these called bellows?

Any boat store, about $20 a foot; should have 2 clamps on each end.

Re: Omc Exhaust hoses

Are you meaning from the risers to the y pipe? Exhaust hose.
Out the transom is bellows.

I have a 1980 stringer 400 and it is the tube upper tube from exhaust manifold. A slow drip from these places are not going to hurt anything correct? as long as I fix asap.

Re: Omc Exhaust hoses

one of my exhaust tubes was doing that for a while, took a long time to figure out why i was taking on water. I just tightened the clamps and it stopped, hasn't come back since, i have much larger problems on hand right now
