Hi, I posted a few weeks ago about my 150 optimax that had low block pressure at idle. <br />I think/hope I have found the problem. With the lower unit removed I fitted a hose to the main water tube that runs to the powerhead. When I turned the tap on I looked up the mid section to see if the tube was cracked and I noticed water leaking down not from around the tube but from the side somewere (inside the midsection) it was hard to see. What my question is should their be water leaking down this section? Im not talking about the exhaust section but the driveshaft/water tube section. could there be a blown gasket were the powerhead bolts too the midsection, is there a plate between there? I hope Im on to it
