I am starting to think that the cooling water manifold might have a crack in it which will allow water to flow. There is a small hole in it but I am wondering if there is a bigger crack somewhere. Stupid me did not check the manifold when I had it apart!
And yes my sketch matches your...
I have drawn out the cooling water circuit based on what I can tell from looking at the boat and the various reference information I can find (very little). I am not sure which line to the exhaust risers actually exhaust the water, but I am assuming its the one closet to the actual exhaust.
