I took my 89 270 Amberjack out to test on a smaller lake before taking it to Lake Michigan and I have this leak. Anyone have any experience on what direction I should go from here? Maybe the bellows?

I was wondering after looking at this. Could it still be the Ypipe? If there was backpressure from the lake water that causes it to leak? I noticed the exhaust just comes out of a big rubber hole. I have water in it and need to go get something to jack it up further.Engine Room...if the bellows look fine put the garden hose in the ER
Yeah I have the lazy version on the port side ( the side with the leak) and the original version on the starboard side.There are two types of alpha exhaust bellows (as shown below). The first is typical one that connects to both the transom and the outdrive. The second version (I call the lazy man's version) is connected to the transom only. When the outdrive tilts down it creates a seal. The benefit is just a lot easier to install.
