88 spl lower unit

[Bronik]

I was running my 1988 88 spl on muffs the other day and I did notice water coming out of the seam between the lower and upper unit. While the engine was running and while the hose was on and with the engine off. Is this normal and Is there a gasket that i should replace?

It is commen for water to come out of the lower unit. You can remove the lower unit and varify there are no damaged seals for the exhaust tube.
