:confused: hello, i have a 79 sleekcraft sportster jet boat with a 427, and panther jet, i work on my own vehicles and know quite a bit about the dynamics of a regular system. My question is..... how exactly do these wet exhaust manifolds work?? i seem to be getting a little bit of water into my system through the exhaust, i think... i currently have it at a local shop, and the guy working on it thinks my manifold on one side is rotting through, and getting water into the head, is this possible? and the other exhaust manifold gets about twice as hot as the one side, now when i run the boat in the lake and the pump is pumping water through the system i dont hdro-lock, or get water in the heads?? so i dont know what the problem, and i might let the mechanic fix it, but still prefer to learn about these things on my own so i know. would appreciate the feedback, thaks:confused:
