sorry I can get the pic to look good with the file size restrictions, still need to work on it. Maybe everyone can see with this one.
This is only the second year I have owned my boat so I'm kinda new to the boat ownership thing. Today I wanted to fire up the motor and confirm it starts before launching. So off to wal-mart for the water muffs. No concerns with starting it fired right up, but I dont know where water should come from other than the pee hole. Please look at the pic., there is water coming out on port at the the left silver nut on the bottom flange thingy and water coming out a port in front of the silver nut on the right on the bottom flange thingy and of course the pee hole is flowing good. My guess is this is good.
But what about the section at the top horizontal rib thingy? Not sure what they call this area. Is this normal? For some reason I thought the water only came out the pee hole? Hopefully I'm wrong and all is ok. If a video is needed I can try to provide.

Yer prolly good to go then!... and water doesn't just come out of the "tell tale" (pee hole), if you'll look at where the water was coming out at every place and it looks like there is a "vent" there you're prolly good to go.
Impellers are good for 3-5 years.
in not sure on that motor mine only comes out of the pee hole and the prop
water pump impellers should be replaced every year or 100 hrs
It is a merc,I'm thinking it should only come out the pee hole not where the bolts are. It also should have a pretty good stream,,like your peeing. Make sure the tube to the pee hole is clear of any sand or dirt. Pop the cover and find the tube and take it off and either look through it or runa coat hanger through it to make sure it is clear. As far as water coming from the bolts,,,you may have a problem
I have a mercury just like that but never paid attention to everywhere it comes out. I'll put the muffs on her tomorrow and see what I come up with.
