I know that this engine is water cooled, but I do not see water coming out of the engine. Dose water exit the system under water. Should I be able to see water coming out of the engine while it is running?

Just don't want to blow it up.

You are wise not to run it like that, it isn't cooling. There is a large hole in the backside of the midsection, about half way down to the waterline. There should be a healthy spray of water blowing out that hole any time the motor is running. That is only part of the cooling water though. A lot of it goes out with the underwater exhaust.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'll try not to blow it up.
