I installed a new water pump kit in my 1992 90 horse rude v-4 crossflow and noticed that there was a small hole in the housing. this hole looks to be made in there from the factory. i turned the prop with the muffs on and the lower unit off and water came out the hole like a straight stream. I assume it might be for vent or somthing like that but it sure seems like it would just shoot water like all get out inside the legg of the engine, as well as seems as it would cost me optimal preasure. the pump housing is white in color and the part number is as follows 5001594.I thought somthing was wrong with it having that hole so i bought a new one same thing. i am sure its there for a reason but to me its pretty retarded to put a hole in there knowing it will affect the preasure.
