[Vacation Dave]

I also had serious ussue last year with bellows. I had an exhaust problem that caused lots of water in the bilge. I think it's where the underwater exhaust goes through the exterior stern wall. Almost sank!

I finally found a great mechanic that fixed the probelm. He had to pull the engine and also found the engine mounts were loose from another mechanic that didn't torque them down correctly.

Also, there's a metal flap sort of like a check valve that will not allow water to backwash into the engine. Those were worn/burned completely and needed to be replaced.

She's air tight and ready for some warm weather now!
