Default Rusty water leaking from Bravo...

I have rusty water coming from my low water pickup in my Bravo. I parked my boat after the weekend and put the drive down, water came out of the drive like it always does. Two days later I found a trail of rusty water coming out of the low water pick up. It's orange like Georgia clay...what could this be from?

Rusty water could be coming from the inside of the engine. The engine rusts in matter hours if not minutes. There is no coating inside the engine, just bare cast iron.

US1 said the same thing in the general tech forum. I ran the boat for the first time after a fresh motor rebuild. Maybe that has something to do with it?
