OMC exhaust/water not coming out of prop

[vicsponjr]

I just got my Cobra drive back and installed it. Hooked it up to the muffs to check it before putting it in the water. I had what I thought was a lot of water exiting thru the front top of the lower unit, around the anode. I don't remember this much coming out there before. Is it possible they forgot to install something or some other problem?

Make sure the Exhaust bellows are on tight.

Yes, the exhaust bellows look o.k. Just some coming out around the front of the lower unit near the anode and soe coming out of the bottom of the transom mount.

I'm DYING to get her back in the water!!!!!!

As long as it runs cool i would say its fine. Put her in the water and see how it does!8)

Took it out for a litle spin and it ran great. Shifts fine, does not overheat. Still bugs me that teh water is coming out of the front like it is. I pulled the anode off and took a pic of it running on the muffs.
