Hello,

I just got a new to me 2009 Four Winns SL262 with a VP 8.1 Gi and I started noticing I was getting a lot of water that needed to be pumped out at higher RPMs (>1500). At the dock with the engine on I can't see anything leaking but last night I opened the engine compartment while at speed and took the attached pictures of water dripping out from what looks to be a sensor coming off the exhause? I apologize I'm not overly mechanical but just looking for some guidance here on why it's only coming out under more pressure and this is a sign of a more serious problem aside from a clamp replacement. Thank you for any help.

is it the rubber exhaust hose leaking or the corsa diverter leaking at the shaft?

Thanks! Looks like CORSA is actually pretty helpful with sending free O-rings and instructions as well I found while researching.

if you had an over-heat, the rubber bits in the exhaust get burned up.
