I have a yamaha wave runner venture, hose for the exhaust keeps popping off any reason for concern?

Question

Will not move when this happens, motor keeps running; and sounds bogged down.

Answer 1

it sounds like your exhaust hose could be to large for your exhaust. why not try putting a metal hose clamp on it to see if you can keep it in place. The reason it will bog down is you are letting to much exhaust out without the pipe so yes it will bog down.it will run but you need the back pressure to keep it moving

Answer 2

You can answer your own question about the back pressure by how it runs and moves when the hose is on it. If it runs like a raped ape, that's not the problem.

But yeah it is kind of reason for concearn. #1 it's not safe if you're flying across the lake and it comes off and boggs down. # 2 it's got water and exhaust running thru the hose and could flood the engine with water.
