Rough Launch Day

So I launched my boat (later than I wanted to) this past Tuesday. Trailer drove away and I went out to my mooring as normal. When I got there I gave things a once over before I left the boat and thought my starboard motor was sounding a little odd and then I noticed a bunch of water in the bilge. I quickly realized that the y-pipe must have sprung a leak and I quickly called the trailer back and headed back to the boat ramp. Had the engine craned out this past Saturday, installed a new y-pipe and the engine should be going back in tomorrow - also was a nice opportunity to clean areas of the bilge that are hard to get to. Here's a picture of the pipe. Somewhat odd failure as there was no leaking at all last year and then all of a sudden there's a big hole.
Hope to be back in the water by the end of this week.
