I have a 2008 Volvo Penta 5.7 GI-G that I just picked up; I replaced the Impeller and was running a test of the cooling system. This is the first Volvo I have owned so I am not 100% familiar with what the expectations are for a successful cooling system test should be.

When running this I out of the water, the impeller was definitely pushing water through the system however I have questions about what I should expect to see.
1. Water coming from exhaust - Expected
2. Water coming from the prop - Not Sure
3. Water coming from drain holes in exhaust bellow - Expected
4. Water coming from factory hole on outdrive where it is mounted next to the hull.

In the video below, i have documented all 4 points and froze the frame to display exactly what I am talking about

Could someone with some Volvo experience let me know if what I am seeing here is by design or should I investigate another potential issue?

Normal, looks just like my SX-A, except I tend to get a larger volume of water out of the prop when running on the flush port.

Your anodes look like they need replacing, btw.
