Is this normal - water coming out of lower cowling?

Water is coming out of the pisser with a strong stream and no overheating. No water in the lower gear lube either. 2007 Mercury 40 hp 4 stroke. http://members.cox.net/bernas/2007Mer...owling.jpg Edited by Phil T on 07/25/11 - 3:56 AM

I'm wondering if something wasnt aligned properly when the lower unit was reinstalled last. It's certainly something that you might want to look at the next time you remove your lower unit.
