Just obtained a 2000 - DF15ELY motor and need to understand the water cooling system.
At idle water comes out the pee hole in the back and exhaust comes out the idle relief exhaust hole at the back also. Operates the same in gear in the tank, but have not tried on the boat. Water exits in a good stream from a small hole (about 1/4" dia.) just above the yoke assembly at the front of the motor. Is this proper? If this is not correct, where is power head cooling water supposed to exit the engine?
Thanks for any explanation of proper water flow for power head cooling.
