Recently purchased my first boat and have got some great info on these forums. This weekend I noticed there was some water spraying out of the upper exhaust ports on my outboard when it was at idle. The engine is a 1998 Yamaha 150, v6 carbureted. It runs great, nothing seems to be wrong, but I haven’t noticed the water in the exhaust before (not that I checked) so am concerned it may be unusual or an indication of some kind of problem?
