I am used to a inboard tow boat that has the exhaust ports in the hull of the boat. It just occured to me that I didn't see those ports on the rear end of a 4.3 Mercrusier package. Where are the I/O exhaust ports found?
An interesting reason for me looking in the first place. The boat I was looking at had a new lower unit. The owner was telling me that the insurance had just replaced it. I asked him if he ran over something. He said "Heck no!" Someone stole the lower end off his I/O while his wife were in a resturant eating after being at the lake all weekend. They had parked the boat in the resturant parking lot on the way home. First time I ever heard of such a thing. Is this common? Is it something I should worry about when parking my boat while I go potty at say a gas station? Are the lower ends that easy to remove?
