The engine is a longrigged sail version which has been converted to short version by the previous owner. The question is where is all the water coming from that pours out somewhere near the shift lever. When the gearcase is removed and a water hose with pressure fitted over the cooling water...

Purchased an mint Tohatsu 4stroke engine the other day,
seems like my dealer can´t give me any info on this one
