So today I take the boat out of the water (salt), put the muffs on and begin flushing only to discover an unusual amount of water gushing out the lower unit. Prior to this the majority of water came out of the prop & pee hole.<br />Being concerned I removed the cover on the l/u to inspect. I discovered a small amount of water coming down the drive shaft and a huge amount of water gushing out the bottom of the shift shaft.<br />Could this be normal? I'm afraid to put the boat back in the water incase there is a busted seal or something that could cause major damage.<br /><br />Any suggestions are appreciated.
