[h=2]Problem after changing water pump on 40 hp efi 4 stroke 2012 out board[/h]

Need help! I change the water pump on 40 hp efi mercury today. after putting it in the water I notice that the exhaust is coming out around the anode on the lower prop housing. It is also coming out of the center of the prop a little. Is this normal for the exhaust to be coming out around the anodes also?

Thanks​
