Clams,

Is it normal for water to be coming out of the lower unit where the
shift shaft enters, when you are running the motor on muffs in the
driveway. I have a 90 hp Merc 2 stroke model year 2000.
I am taking it on a fishing trip at 6:00 AM Sunday and don't want to
trash the lower unit or worse! This is my first "big" motor.

Fredo
