hi there everyone. im new to boats and the engines that push 'em.my motor is a 1990 force 120 hp with b at the end of the model #. ive noticed some exhaust coming out of the pee holes on the back of the motor. i noticed it getting in the water to swim right after shutting the engine off. i also noticed it right when i started the boat before the water came out of the pee holes.is this normal or is there a leak in a gasket letting exhaust into the water? hmmm. thanks

Re: water and exhaust

Normal. Those are the idle relief holes

exhaust and water will "spit" out of those holes while idleing, when you increase your speed the exhaust will come out under water.
