I have water leaking in around the port engine at the coupler would that be a hose broken or would it be seals in the coupler I cant see seals because the keep in grease any ideas

How much water? A drip, a constant stream?
Does it leak while you have the engines off?
How long have you owned the boat?
How often do you use it?
Ever had any issues or sucked up a rope?
Does your bilge pump ever come on? Do you know if it works?
Do you get much water out if your transom plug

constant stream after about 3-5 minutes seems to be coming around the port coupler got it new no rope pump comes on yes lots water in transom

Do you ever grease the intermediate bearing?

It sounds like the bearing seal,
I would take the cleanout tray out and put the boat in the water at the dock just to see for sure what is going on in the bilge,

Also you may pull the impeller/shaft to get a view from the back to see if there is anything obvious

Going way back, I seem to recall some of the early 230s had a problem with the cooling water line making contact with the coupler and wearing a hole in it. Anyone remember that from the yamahajetboaters site?

Seems like i remember something like that also, another good reason to run your engines with the hatch open occasionally, just for a look see
