You have an internal leak in either the header , the tail or both. I had the same issue last year. I was able to tig the leak in the tail but not the header. Had to get a new set.

They crack in the internal welds.
I just had several headers and tailpipes repaired for a customer after a pressure test failure

If the clamp between the header and the tailpipe is not making proper seal it will pull water backwards and leak. I had this same issue, my headers were not leaking. I added an extra gasket in-between and fixed the problem, been running ever since.

its much safer to remove the header so you dont pump water in the engine..if your still using the boat when you stop and shut the engine off pull that plug at the end of the hoses that feed the header water..this way it wont leak into the engine..

first need to seal that properly.
Tailpipe are 15" long. Should the water comes out back of tailpipe.
If so its long way to come backwards just thinking..
but anyway will seal the clamp.
