Default 1986 Mercury 35 HP exhaust out?

Acquired a pontoon with a 35 horse mercury that spits exhaust and water out two ports just below the powerhead at the back of the engine about 26 inches above the prop. All else normal, exhaust at prop and pees water good. Should exhaust and water be coming out of the engine at these two ports above the water line? (besides the pee hole). I can't find any info and didn't get a manual. Thanks

Sounds funny that water is coming out of the exaust port. Not to sure what to say on that one but check this site for the owners manual. Hope this helps!

Heres what I'm talking about:

The circled ports have water and exhaust, the water is just spitting out but I was thinking some gaskets are in order. I hope it's nothing serious. I'll check the link for the manual. Thanks

Agreed, normal operation. You will get exhaust and water exiting out those upper relief ports, and through the prop, and through the relief ports just above the antiventillation plate. All is well.
