15hp Mercury 4stroke

Sorry to sound so stupid but it is important.

My 2001 has a small grommeted hole directly in the middle of the cowling on the back of the motor I believe is the exhaust. just started it again today cause goin to Canada with it next week. The hole is spirting out a small bit of water. Is this normal? Just bought the motor and never noticed it before when I ran it.

Thanks
Kevin

I think that is your cooling water telltale outlet, Kevin. It should have a small, but steady stream of water to indicate that the water pump is working.
