This might be a crazy question, but my motor has a water hose hookup for flushing the engine as well as running the engine in lieu of ear muffs. When I took it out to the lake last time I noticed that water was pumping out of that hookup into my splashwell. Is it supposed to do that? Is there some sort of stopper it should have in it?

I have a 04 merc 150 with the same type of hookup for flushing but it is on the backside of the motor and it has a plug in it. sounds like you might be missing this plug.

Mine is about an 18" rubber line with a "water hose" fitting at the end. It has a blue "keeper" that doesn't seem to keep anything. Maybe I'm missing a plug?
