Hello,
My day has a 2006 Mercury 25hp 4 stroke EFI water coming from midshaft area and not the pee hole. i tried uploading a photo and a video but I guess the file is to big. My dad became ill and i was helping him sell the boat. i started it and no water from the pee hole. i replaced the water pump. it didn't look that bad. but when i run the engine I get water coming from a dime size hole from the midshaft area under the plastic cowling. i have hot air pressure coming from the pee hole. when i hold my finger over the hole it build up water pressure but nothing out the pee hole. could this engine have a thermostat that has to open before it pees? Im use to outboard doing it immediately. thank for any help.
