I have had this boat and motor for 3 years and it has always done this. Never overheated, and seems to run fine. I was running seafoam through it today, and noticed that only one side of the return water was coming out like it should. There are 2 holes but only the right side flowed correctly. Left side was intermitent. Thought i would post this to see if anyone could help me out. Thanks ...http://youtu.be/svGnto2B1G0

I think if the lower unit was further under water you would get more flow out of the exhaust ports. When running in a barrel, the water pump should be below the water level.
