The Y pipe or bullhorn as some call it, is the factory exhaust setup that
collects exhaust from both manifolds and joins it together to send the
exhaust through the transom plate below the waterline on the centerline
under the driveshaft. You don't have any washdown, sink, livewell pickup or
drain, or scupper drains that are near or under the waterline?

oups.com... I'm pretty
much positive that it's not one of the bellows that is
leaking since I had them all replaced last weekend. What exactly is
the transom drain? Perhaps that is an area that could be my problem.

Thanks,

The transom drain is the plug at the bottom of the transom that is
removed
to drain water out of the bilge.
It's not hard to install bellows incorrectly. Another potential leaker
that
I forgot to mention is the Y pipe where it attaches to the inner transom
plate. Do you have any thru hull fittings at or very near the waterline
anywhere on the boat?

Yeah, but the odds of my old bellows and the new ones both being
installed incorrectly is pretty slim. I'm pretty certain the original
bellows were from the factory. Plus, the old bellows didn't look that
bad. Right at the water line is the through hull exhaust and the trim
tab hoses. Other than that, just the outdrive. What exactly is the Y
pipe? Where would I look for a leak on that?

Thanks,
Jim
