Water flow

[Browny1968]

I have a 55HP Chrysler (1980 I think.)
At idle and low to half revs water is flowing out of the square hole.
At full revs no water or very little comes out.
Is this normal??
Just replaced impeller and head gasket and cleaned the carbies.
It also doesnt like to idle.
Can anyone help????
Thanks

Re: Water flow

If it is the twin carb 55 with the one piece lower unit, that is normal. While running, if you feel the head and exhaust cover, both will be cool to the touch, indicating water flow. If it really bothers you, add a pisser.
