water leaking in at exhaust
A little water is probably to be expected but I am at the point where the bilge pumps have to work if I am dragging ass. No problem on plane but at the ramp, not on plane, etc. water is coming in around one of the straight thru exhaust pipes. I have not started taking things apart but i am wondering what is used to seal that gap.

Before you install the beauty ring, and gasket, put a fresh coat of fiberglass resin on the wood (the inside of the cutout). This will help protect the wood in the future. And be sure to seal the screws the hold the beauty ring on. Water intrusion is the enemy.
