On this 30hp 1986 motor the water comes out ok through the pee hole but I am wondering about the amount coming out of the upper exhaust ports (2 holes) At low idle it is only coming out as a little spray or none at all. ( I should feel with my hand next time) When the throttle is bumped up to faster idle it sprays pretty good but somewhat erratic. When high speed it sloshes, pumps or pours out. Is this normal? The cavitation plate is just below the water lin since it doesn't have an extension for this pontoon boat. There is steam coming off the midsection, so maybe that is because it isn't in the water far enough.

Thanks.

The way the water is coming out of the ports is normal.
