I recently purchased this 1986 25hp Merc outboard. The engine seems to be running fine, however when I looked at thestream of water coming out of the back port of the engine I noticed that below it, on the small cowling that surrounds the drive shaft area there was water coming upward and out of it, from what I think is an excessive amount. I took the motor to my mechanic and he removed the cowling, and found this hole on the side (See image) He seems to not have ever seen this before and we are stumped. Anyone out there know why this would be there, and if it is supposed to be there, what purpose does it serve? I really don't think water is supposed to be pouring out of it..
Any info or guesses would be appreciated!
