I have seen it done a couple ways, one is individual dumps for each pipe, my buddy (RIP) used to like to put them out the starboard side so you could take a quick look and see the water dump.
Then there is just a small hole in the bottom of each pipe so the last bit of water will run out when the motors are shut off and to keep some cooling going to the very end.
Others put dumps on the transom side and just aim away from the end of the pipes. Still need the little drain on the bottom, we boat in salt here.

im trying to figure out if I want to go out the side or out the back of the transom somewhere I’m thinking of individual dumps for each pipe but still unsure. What’s a safe hose size? Hole size ? Etc etc etc SM don’t t give me much info

As you have told me before, this boat is a long time keeper, if it was me Id somehow get through this season with as minimal expense as possible, then in the off season plug the trs holes and recut it for the bravo tails which should have been done at the time of the conversion.....jmo

Some tails have the water exit on the outboard side of the transom. Just need to make sure you can clear the bung through the exh hole.
You could extend the tails, making them longer. Inside tube right away, and see how that helps out.
The dams getting repaired would also help.

Can someone explain how this is done? Extending the inner pipe? Do you slip a piece in past the water outlet and then start tack welding it in and let the water flow out past the extension? Any pics of this? Sorry 87 for cutting in on your post.

I'm running dry to tip on my Scarab. The inside pipes were extended to the transom to prevent reversion, currently not running flappers or mufflers. Can still hold a conversation on the boat without yelling and its not super obnoxious around the docks. Luckily where I'm at there are no noise ordinances and the marina I'm at doesn't really care. Dry to tip is more forgiving than dry pipes. If you're worried about it, run mufflers.

As Franks292 mentioned, the inner stainless pipe that flows and contains the exh is extended. It would need to welded. A few options on how to do that depending on how the riser terminates. Easiest is if the inner is already a few inches longer.
