Silent Thunder Leaking??
ok, so my 89 242ss appears to have had the swim platform off in the past due to the caulk job and the marina that serviced it noted they replaced the exhaust outlets a few years ago....
I was running it on the hose and noticed water just spilling out alongside the port side transom wall under the swim platform??? the caulk has obviously deteriorated there but there should never be water gushing out anyway caulk or no caulk correct???
what could this be? there was water coming out of the port water hole on the swim platform as well....

Pull the platform off it`s not hard 4-6 bolts and see if the wood is rotted it happens. Or it could just be the gasket that runs around the platform and tighten it back up. Water should flow right thru the platform with know problem.

If I follow you right....The water that mixes in the exhaust tube dumps into the platform and will run out where ever it can when it is on the hose. The area between the platform and hull should not leak but rather seal so exhaust is pushed away from the boat.
