When the exhaust is open at idle a lot of the water runs down the Y-pipe.

sonic28,
Do you have a water bypass system onthe boat, you only need enough water going threw the exhaust to keep your hose connection from melting. Too much water
will rob you of horsepower. If you have a bypass system there will be 4 holes comming out of the transom. This system lets the proper amount of water to go into the exhaust the remaining amount goes to the bypass system. If its really to loud get some ear plugs an enjoy them horses.
