I have a 2013 T9.9XPHB on my 25' sailboat. When it was put in the water yesterday a friend standing to the side noticed water flowing out of two embossed holes about 1/3 of the way down the shaft housing, facing the pivot shaft.
There was a strong flow of water out of the tater tail.
The flow out of the embossed holes was low pressure but did increase a little with throttle increase.
The OB had been warming up about 15 minutes.
Yard mechanic had not seen this before and did not know if it was a problem or not.
I don't remember seeing it before but I am always in the boat when the OB is running and I needed to stretch to see it coming out of the embossed holes.
Do I have a problem or is this normal?
