filled the bilge with water and found it!!!! the y pipe for the exhaust is leaking right under the shaft for the drive. if i pull the drive i MAY be able to to smear some 5200 or jb weld on it. will either one of these hold? i think it was mop who suggested squirting expandable foam in it and just use the thru hull. the y pipe is junk any way, will the foam last until fall when i can pull the motor and put in a new y pipe? will it catch on fire? will water sit on top of the foam? any other draw backs to the foam?

Clean the opening well chromate it and shoot in the foam it will last a vey long time. If you need the run down on the how too PM me.
