Evinrude 70hp - Water Ejection

[SwordsBeginner]

Hi, I have a 70HP Evinrude (70RNLIA).
I noticed when running the engine on muffs, that water ejects at the point where the engine joings the transom bracket (see red arrow in picture).
Is this a normal water ejection or is something leaking?

Thanks

On the muffs, you'll see water coming out from all over the place - water is supposed to get in there to keep the exhaust housing cool. None of those joints have to hold water since it's submerged while the motor's running anyway.

If you got a good pee stream and it's cooling properly, then no problem.
