Last weekend boat got hot (210*). Replaced water pump on motor and installed impeller kit in lower unit. Started boat this week in the water, had plenty of water flow but now water is blowing out base of carb after about 5 minutes running. I immediately shut motor down. There is no water in the oil and motor is not locked up. I pulled the plugs on a couple of cylinders and no evidence of water. I am curious about no water in oil and it blowing out of carb base.
