1989 Evinrude 50hp

[MN30hp]

Hello, I test ran my motor today and noticed water spraying out between the lower unit and main motor. I don't recall seeing this on my other motors. Bad seal? Bolts not tight? Might be tough to see, but directly under the red striping.

Is it coming out the telltale? Overheating? Then no, it will work.

It's just not mating up nicely anymore. A little tiny bit of flat filling will probably cure it.

Yes. It's not a strong stream though, figured it needs a new impeller kit.
