Yamaha 90 Water question

[kewdah]

Hi,
I just purchased a 1992 scout 172 with a 90hp yamaha on it (90trlq) and havent yet had the chance to pick up the manual for it. I was flushing the motor today and noticed a stream of water coming out of a rectangular hole that is about 1/4 x 1" at the top front of the lower unit...is water supposed to be coming from there when its on the muffs? any help would be really appricated.
Thanks

I wouldn't worry about it as long as you have a steady stream coming out of the "pee" hole on right rear side of engine cowl. I have a 90C Yamaha and water seems to come out of several different locations while it's running. Hope you have good luck with your motor!

prob normal if the lower unit has been taken off on many motors it leaks i would worry about it if its got a good pee streem
