Leaking Volvo exhaust yoke??...

[Russ Preves]

Hi!
My 1979 260AQ Volvo (280 drive) is leaking when the boat is in the water..AND when flushing with the hose. I tried filling the yoke about 1/2 way with water, and notice drips coming from where the yoke attaches to the transom plate. (you have to stand on your head to see this...

Any ideas on how to fix this without pulling the engine/bell housing?...what a job that would be!!!

Thanks for the info...I'm new here...

Pulling the engine and the drive will be necessary. No way around it.

that's what I don't want to do..

If it leaks during flushing....it would seem to be a cracked yoke, or a leak where the rubber hoses attach to the yoke....are there any other possibilities?

or a leak where the rubber hoses attach to the yoke....

You are the one that can see it, is it leaking from the hoses ??????????

the rubber hoses are in the front of the yoke,attached to the transom plate...so when I look at it from inside the boat, all i see is the dripping from the point where the yoke attaches to the plate....on the bottom.

I thought if it was leaking from where the rubberhose goes into the yoke, the water could drip down between the plate and yoke....I assume there's an o ring there

What are you calling a yoke, and what rubber hoses.
Go to the parts link below.

the exhaust yoke is #23...the rubber hoses are #29....(there are 2 on a 280 drive)

so, I see it dripping at the bottom between #23 and the transom plate, which is not numbered....
