I took these 2 photos to show that water is coming out of my lower unit. One is from a hole that is drilled, and the other shows water escaping from a shaft. Question.. is this normal for this motor.If not please advise a remedy.

The water will generally spray straight forward...you may have a piece of debris in there. Making it spray.<br /><br />TMD

You are only noticing it because it's on muffs.<br />When it's in the water, it's fully summerged...<br />As long as it's not getting into the gearbox,and is not obstructing the waterpump, should cause no problems.

Hi Izuizme,<br /><br />Your motor has water running out of the same locations as my 90 hp motor and every other 3cyl 90 Merc I have seen, in other words it is normal.<br /><br />Bob
