I have had two different mechanics work on my boat for an overheating problem. The first said it was an impeller problem and focused on the port side area of the engine. I came to learn that the impeller is on the front starboard side of engine and had it replaced, though it did not look all that bad. I still have a water leak coming in from the rear port side of engine, but have no idea where it is coming in from. I think there is an exhaust hose down there, but neither mechanic has resolved the leak. I've now paid almost $1,000 to diagnose the problem, without a fix. Are there any maintenance manuals available for this boat? Anyone?

There aren't really manuals for the boat itself, but certainly for the engine, and the cooling system is pretty much all the same regardless of boat model. From your other post I can see it is a 7.4L Mercruiser. Maybe check this link for the manual and take a look at the diagrams. https://rinkerboats.vanillacommunities.com/discussion/735/mercruiser-manual-23-7-4l-8-2l-service-manual
There are also some online parts diagrams available from such places as Mercruiserparts.com

If you have your engine serial number it gets even better because you can then ensure you have the right manual.
