Well pretty sure the majority is from swim deck. There is a silicone at the bottom just under the lip. It appears several gaps. Did have exhaust leaks. tightened clamps. still had water just not as much. So for me it's the swim deck. Going to get dinghy and should be accessible o perhaps I might be able to just lean over.

Probably more of a culprit while sitting at the dock but the exhaust outlets on my 2001 404 leak and need to be re-bedded.

Thanks. I have access holes on swim deck and found loose exhaust clamps. Also recalked at back of swim deck under the lip.. As her aft rides really low coming up to plane and even so when underway there is a long of water turbulence. I going to take her out to test again in a few days. Currently chasing an oil pressure gauges as they are good at idle and while just sitting they drop out around 800/900 rpm and then come back when I am 1200 rpm and seemly underload running it drops more often. It's these little things that are driving me crazy.
