Hi Bob,
The wet exhaust referred to is probably those big powerboats that
have risers above the waterline and the discharge is a hose with no
muffler or lift device. I suggest our lift units are whole mufflers
on a wet exhaust system.

I found the following in Bold on a Safe Boaters website
(Canadian).....didn't have the time to look up the specific 1999
Small Vessel Regulation that it is referring to. If the actual
Regulation does say this, does this mean that all us Canucks with
'wet mufflers' on our sailing vessels are 'offside' of the law?
Noise Abatement
A new regulation came into effect in 1999 under the Small Vessel Regulations.
Boats are not permitted within five miles of shore without a noise
abatement device unless the boat was built prior to 1960.
This means that straight pipes are no longer permitted on boats.
A wet exhaust, where the exhaust is partially muffled by cooling
water discharged through the exhaust pipes, is not considered a
noise abatement device.
