Hello to all. I am new to this site and also to boating having just purchased a 84 Conroy 16.5 foot boat. Overall its in good shape, I just replaced the impeller as it was not "peeing" at all and now it's performing like a champ. My question is this, on the rear of the motor just below the cover there are 2 rectangle shaped holes, I am guessing these are exhaust ports, when my motor is running there is water spitting out of these ports and I wanted to know if this was normal. The motor is running fine with no problems.
