I prepped my Mercruiser for winter storage today. All went well except for one thing. I had it on the cuffs warming up for the oil change. The engine was purring along at 1200 rpm and I checked out the stern drive to make sure the cuffs were feeding water as they should. The water was coming out the stern of the boat. I though maybe the bellows had a hole but they look to be okay, in fact, look almost new. Is this typical or do I have a problem that I just didn't catch?

Thanks for the info. Never knew that the water drained from there. Always thought it went through the prop hub.
