Does anyone know which area of the engine the water should shoot out of when running? Should it be coming out of the flushing port, or out of the hole below the flushing port, or somewhere else? (This is my 2nd year with boats, and I know it shows . . . ) I think I might be in big trouble . . . Thanks.

Take a video with your phone of the engine running on muffs, upload to a hosting site (google drive, icloud etc) and post the link.

There should be a tell tale that shoots a small stream of water. These clog very easily and weed trimmer line is a good cleaning utensil.The flushing port better be closed when running. If it was overheating the alarm would sound.
