water shed

[fishinforfun61]

i have an 83 evinrude 25 hp motor that seems to be spitting water out of the exhaust, it puts a good stream of water out of the tube and also puts water out of the two holes near the top of the shaft. is this normal, I have not noticed this before, thanks.

yup sounds pretty normal to me. my 90hp v-4 expels water from the 2 top holes you mentioned, the exhaust ports on the lower unit, and out of the center of the prop (thru hub exhaust). and of course the tell tale hose. you should be getting water out of the ehaust ports just above (or below cant remember exactly) where the lower unit bolts to the shaft housing on both sides. atleast thats where my 1981 90hp is.
