Do you have any idea how or why your port engine is injesting water.....I am assuming thru the exhaust........correct?????

This question comes from your reply on another thread "Nice over the transom shot"
BTW...the last time this gut was on the boat was the last time i had a problem...(over a year ago)..drifting for fluke i injested water into the port engine and came home on one.....

harry....i know exactly why.....engine has no risers....generally not a problem but on this particular day it was very rough and i must have gotten a surge back up the manifold on one bank of cylinders......if it happend now i could be running again in half an hour.....live and learn.....also now i have soft rubber exhust plugs i use if im drifting in rough conditions or anchored out for a long time
