Hello,
I have a 1992 Mercury 115hp outboard, the other day I was slowly going around the marina when I noticed it was not pissing out water. I put my finger over it and felt hot air, I also noticed water bubbling up from the mounting bracket area or the exhaust housing. It was bubbling up so hard that it was hitting the underside of the engine cover.
I originally thought the impeller had failed however the bubbling water makes me think that it is still pumping. Has anyone come across the impeller housing or gasket failing is such a way to get this bubbling and to stop the cooling of the engine.
Any thoughts or wisdom would be appreciated.
Thank you
