Last week I put new seals between my lower and intermediate housings. Well I finally got to run it today on muffs and didn't like what I saw.
When I turned the water on to the muffs, I had water coming out all over the intermediate.:mad:

It comes out right below the fitting with the hose from the transum. Not the fitting or the fitting seal, but below. It stops leaking when I start the engine.

Is this the result of the new seal not being in correctly or is it a different problem. I don't remember seeing the leaking last year.

Could I have blown the seal out with too much pressure on the muffs?
