after my engine starts up about 7 seconds it starts peeing water at the same pressure rate....the water is very hot but you can hold your hand in it for awhile... i have not checked the thermostat to see where they are or if there in. its a new motor to me.<br />is this normal ?<br /><br />i remember my merc 200 would pee a little and full bore off and on like the thermo was opening and closing.

If this motor is new to you and you have not replaced the water pump - - do it.
