Thanks for the good points. In watching my 2000 Mercury 10HP 4 stroke engine closely, I notice water trickling from an open port on the lower left shaft portion of the motor - just above the trim lift support. The flow increases with an increase in RPM. One mechanic says this is not a problem. I do have a strong stream from the normal engine cooling water port above. Any ideas?

Tons of good points in here for boat repair. Keep it simple, color, sound and smell are always easy things to look out for initially if you feel like something is going on with your boat. I esepcially enjoy you guys talking about sounds such as the jingling sounds you get when there are problems with the propellar. That is a common issue where most people think it is a clutch problem.
