I recently aquired an older Montgomery Ward Sea King 5.0 HP. I noticed something strange yesterday about the two holes that are about halfway up the shaft. I originally assumed they were exhaust holes, but I noticed that when I plug them, the exhaust redirects to come out of the prop somewhere underwater. When I do this the motor actually revs higher and seems to run smoother. Any ideas on what is going on here?
I have attached a video to illustrate.
