1994 Force by Mecury Water Leak

[2000vikings]

I have a 1994 Force 70hp that is running great, but recently I noticed that I have water leaking from the middle of the motor at the bottom of the motor case. It seems like it only sprays out when I am running the motor at higher speed. It does spray water normally out of the hose and hole. It doesn't seem to impact performance but I don't believe it is normal. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Normal on all I have seen.
As long as you are cooling, then this is just water built up in the leg that hasn't gone out the prop hub yet.

Hey - your supposed to be holding on to the steering wheel while driving a boat, not hanging over the transom looking at the motor!!!

That is great news, thanks for the information. Yah, my neck gets pretty sore trying to hold the wheel and look behind me at the same time.
