I have a 1964 40HP Johnson mo
I have a 1964 40HP Johnson model RDSL-26. I know nothing about boat motors so forgive my ignorance. At idle and slow speeds I am getting exhaust and water from an ejection port just below the cover at the back of the motor. I am also getting exhaust at the bottom of lower unit. Does water also eject from the lower unit??? Here is why I ask. At high speeds I don't see any water coming out of the top port. Is this normal for this motor?? At high speeds does all the water get pumped out of the lower unit? The motor has never over heated that I know of. However I have never run it at high speeds for very long. I am not sure if I have a problem or not.
