The series of holes above the anti-ventilation plate are exhaust gas holes, however, cooling water also exits there too when you are running it on muffs. It is warm because it has passed through the thermostat and powerhead where as the pee hole that comes out the side is tapped into the the cooling water prior to the thermostat . Same happens through the prop as well as the exhaust port on the upper rear of the leg just under the cowling in terms of outputting warm water with the exhaust.
Yeah, that's the exhaust, same with mine. I'd pull the lower unit off and check there are no busted up impeller pieces in the water tube. Did you change the impeller already?Crazyboat said:On my old 74' The pee water as it were came out on the rear of the shaft just under (maybe 6") where the hood met the leg. It would spit or spray water out, never a tell tale stream.
Hope I'm explaining this in a way you can visualize.
