I am not sure I understand what should happen when I start my 1999 merc ob. Water does not immedeitly pee heavily out of the back of the ob, it is more of a spurt out (little water and air mix) . A few seconds after puting the motor in gear and moving the water begins peeing out with a nice heavy stream. I did notice that even while traveling fast the water flow would stop for a few seconds and then start back up with that nice flow of water peeing out. Is this normal or do I have something going on with the cooling system. Thanks for any help you may give.
