I’m concerned about water getting going past the manifold risers through the exhaust and into the engine cylinders when raising or lowering the boat from the lift.
To lower and raise my Sundancer 260 the lift guy keeps it at a steep angle with the bow up (or air gets stuck in the lift’s rear pontoons and boat gets stuck), so they taught me to dip the stern almost to the point the swimming platform gets wet about 1/3 of the way...only then you start leveling the bow.
Have gone through this a couple times and I haven’t had issues....but
Is this safe in terms of water getting into the exhaust ?. Single engine, duo prop Bravo III
