Exhaust Spray or trickle of water

Are you talking about, out of the end of the exhaust pipe itself or somewhere in the boat. Sounds like a silly question I know. Anyway at idle I would believe it should be similar to setting your spray nozzle on a garden hose to fan. As you increase RPM you should get more water.

Marty, I'm going to have to disagree with Bill as I feel that a garden hose has plenty of water. The exhausts should spit out close to the same amount of water. The only difference is that one side may have the oil cooler in the circuit. What happened to the manifolds you replaced? Did you have a problem with them? What's wrong with the new "junk" manifolds?

OK Sorry about the misunderstanding. I usally just hook the end of the hose in the pick-up hose, clamp it off, turn water on wide open then do my maintenence, or whatever I'm doing.The raw water pump is on the left (Driver's) side, the boat is in the driveway with the rear somewhat lower than the bow.I have always noticed a little trickle coming out for years but my dad seems to think different. As for the "JUNK" He sent me a left and right exhaust manifild, and a 2-barrel carb. The carb was supposed to be a 1-barrel,the ehaust were excellant condition, as he says. I think it was arond October,2006 when my posting was, go back in forums to check.My right exhaust (OEM) was rusted up on the inside pretty bad. Water was getting in the oil bigtime.My left one was OK. The two he sent me, luckily the right one was decent, the left one was cracked on the inside 'jackets' front to rear,the end caps were junk the freeze plugs were rusted through. But like I said I took the 'NEW' one and my OEM (factory) one and made one good one. I would still like to get some if any one knows where to find some GOOD ones. The 2-barell carb does me no good cause I have the 1-barell. The 2-barell carbs are a dime a dozen I think. I do have (2) complete 2 barell carbs and intakes now though and one junk 2-barell.I have both ready to go on the boat but just want to keep it original.I'm looking for a 2-spoke OE sterring wheel also. The center is just about cracked all the way around on mine.   I think the trickle is just fine though but my dad seems to think otherwise.
