[Matt15]

My dad and I were putting away the motor and noticedwater squirting out from wher the lower unit and transom meet. Its this normal?

 

 

Thanks for any suggestions

matt can you get a little more specific,what you said doesnt add up....????? :dunno:what kind of mtor,stuff like that

[Matt15]

its a 1992 25 Yamaha. As we were fogging the engine we saw water coming out from where the lower unit connects to the upper. Do you guys think there is something wrong with the seal?

[irishfield]

You sure it wasn't just water that was sitting in the cover bottom...that pee'd out when tipped?

[Fisherman]

Yes it's normal, my Honda does the same thing, there's a slight indent on the one side between the upper and lower pieces, just a drain port.

It wouldn't hurt anything to check and change the lower unit dope, if it's milky... you have problems.

Most outboards have a drain hole right at the seam between the upper leg and lower unit. This allows water to drain out. And in for that matter.

The water pump is self draining and self priming(small drain hole in pump housing as well)

Some outboards have the drain hole on lower unit just above the nose cone on one side. If you ever run outboard on water muffs and garden hose you will see the drain hole( water will pee out when running and after for a minute or so)

Any question about this? Just ask.
