With this motor,when I run it, water comes from a tube in the area of the power head, water spits from a hole in the rear of the motor. The water from he tube at power head comes out cold, but the water from the hole in the rear of the motor is warm. Is this right??? Is the hole in the rear of the motor called the pee hole???

The pee hole (telltale) is a little stream of water coming out the corner of the motor to let you know you're pumping water. Some motors with thermostats only pee when the thermostat opens, and then you get warm water there. That probably doesn't apply to you. There is also an exhaust relief port on the back of the motor just below the powerhead that will spray warm water out with some exhaust. Once on plane, that may go away, being sucked out by motion thru the water. That may also not apply to you. You might not plane.

So if I get a small amount of warm water coming from the rear of the motor so it means that my motor is cooling properly, right??
