Exhaust Problem
I had the same problem with a 97 model. That is how I came to find this forum. There is a water inlet hose that attaches to the exhaust. On the 97 model it is easiest to trace it backwards from the water outlet on the left side of the hull. The hose will "Y" and the small hose leads to the exhaust. This is probably plugged. When I pulled mine out it was full of sand. I haven't had a problem since.
Good Luck
