When running with water ear-muffs, a continuous, hard stream of water was coming out of the gearhouse water drain hole. Is this normal? I don't recall it being this way while running. Could I have over-pressurized it with the hose before starting the motor?

Sounds right to me.If there were "too much pressure" it would come out of the muffs.

Which "Drain Hole" are you referring to, there are several.

The steady stream is coming from the lower unit out of the gearcase housing weep hole.
