Hey guys, hows it going? I have a 1969 9.5hp. It's been sitting for several years. I just rebuilt the carb yesterday, and replaced the impeller today. It started on the 2nd pull, and purred like a kitten with plenty of water coming out of the discharge. My problem is, there is also water coming out of what looks like the bottom of the exhaust housing right on top of the lower unit. In the thumbnail is a pic of the lower unit. The arrow on the right is the separtion point for the lower unit. The arrow on the left is pointing to where water is coming out on both sides of the motor. If you were to take the lower unit off and look down on it from the top, water is coming out around the 10 and 2 position if the front was 12o'clock. Is this normal, and if not, what in the world would be causing this? Thanks for the help in advancejohnson lower unit.jpg
