Good day and what an AWESOME! forum,<br /> <br /> Anyway I have a question. The last time I went out in my boat I let my daughter and her friend tske turns steering the boat at a very slight speed not even 5 MPH for about 30-40 minutes, anyway I had a good pee stream and my question is is it normal for the 2 holes at the back of the motor below the cowling have more than a mist of water come out those 2 holes? It was a heavier mist of water comming out and I hope it was normal. The motor ran great though. I am hoping I am paranoid though about this. Thanks, Bob

perfectly normal. its called an idle relief. if you look at it while on a plane you will see two solid water streams.<br />the water that is cooling the exhaust has to go someplace.
