Normal. It's just extra silicone from the exhaust. All new boats puke it out eventually. You've now been Yamaha baptized. Carry on about your day! :winkingthumbsup"

BTW We REALLY need to create a sticky of things to expect for a new Yamaha jetboat owner. This is one of those things along with trash and extra fasteners in the bilge lol.

Looks like two round seals or gaskets of some kind? It’s happening on both sides next to the pumps on a 2017 AR240 35hrs. Am I good to go or is this a problem?
Normal, no worries. Some people redo the whole exhaust outlet, like @gmtech16450yz. But he is nuts, hehe.

"Baptized" ?????

I'm going to start responding to these posts with doom and gloom followed by a "j/k no worries" post but in all white ninja text :D

Thanks guys! I thought it was from the exhaust but didn’t want to sound like a complete noob if I was wrong

Mine "pooped" out one of those silicone rings last year and I was looking for leaks all summer. But as others said, no issues.

Agree!! Mine "pooped" out one of those silicone rings last year and I was looking for leaks all summer. But as others said, no issues.
