I have a Johnson 15hp motor and I'm having an issue with it (at least I think it's an issue).
When water starts to accumulate in my boat and the stern starts to get weighed down, the outboard starts to trickle water over the transom. It only does it when water accumulates in the stern, and stops when I pump the water out.
Is this normal? Do others have this issue? It happens after about 45minutes of non-stop running (and water was choppy today). in essence, that means I have to stop and pump (by hand) the water out every 45 minutes, which isn't that big a deal. But if someone has any other suggestions, please let me know!
