I've got a Catalina 30 Tall rig with Yanmar 22hp engine. At revs over about 2800 rpm, the stern is pulled down enough that that exhaust is pretty well under water. Then, there seems to be seepage of salt water into the hold.
So, two questions - is it normal for the stern of a Cat 30 tall rig to sit down that far under higher revs? Second, does anyone have any experience of water coming in through the exhaust system.
FWIW: the stuffing box is tight, with no leakage, and a new rebreather was installed last fall and is in excellent shape.
