    1981 evo 70 hp. Had the boat out yesterday and picked up some eel grass apparently. I make a habit of checking the "pee stream" to make sure it's pumping. I noticed it wasn't and what looked like steam around the back of the engine so I immediately throttled it back and shut it off. I waited...
