Just replaced my impeller on 98 / Evinrude / 115. Is it normal for water to discharge from between the lower unit and the gear housing as well as coming out through the upper discharge hole? Evinrude puts a small slit in between (about 1/32"), so I'm guessing this is normal?

Re: Water Discharge

Completely normal, no sealer required. It'd take a ton of sealer to fill that gap on a split-line gearcase anyway....
