Hello I have a 1980 evinrude 25 hp outboard, I took the lower unit off and replaced the impeller.
Now I have water coming out the exhaust and the pee hole, and I don't ever remember water ever coming out of the exhaust. I ran it for a few minutes and the water from the exhaust is getting warm but not the water from the pee hole.
Just wondering why water is coming from the exhaust and why isn't the water from pee hole getting warm.
If anybody has the same motor and has water coming out the exhaust or if anybody has any info for me please help.
Thx ben

water from the pee hole does not circulate throughout the powerhead so not much heat time, water is coming out the exhaust as you have installed a new waterpump sounds all good to me.

Water is supposed to come out the exhaust. The exhaust area parts would get blazing hot if it didn't.
