still having issues with my 1973 9.5 Johnson not idling/running right. Today I brought her in to the landing using the shallow drive setting and noticed a lot of water spraying down/out between where the lower unit goes into the outer shell of the midsection...she pumps plenty of water out of the pee hole, no problem there and she doesn't overheat, but it shouldn't spray out down there should it?

Yes it should. Actually probably more like run out. There are a couple of large drain holes up in there and quite a bit of water comes out of them.
