Older Evinrude Leaking Lower Unit

[slshoe2002]

Hi all. I have an older 90’s model Evinride 150hp. Last year I bought the boat and it needed a bit of work to it. So I took it to the shop. It was fine and I used it last year without incident. I just put it on the muffs to start it this year and water is coming out of the peehole as normal and a lower hole in the front. However’ there seems to be a lot of water coming out the front up by the motor housing. I have attached a video for reference… is this normal? I don’t remember seeing that last year.

That is not normal. However it COULD be because of excessive hose pressure. Try it in the lake before you freak out.
