I've just noticed a small hole on the right side, bottom, infront of the prop that is putting out a small amount of oil/grease when I pulled the
motor off our
dinghy. It's on the opposite side from where you change out the lower
oil. When I pull the
motor out of the
water, lots of
water comes out of the hole. I've checked the owners manual and it doesn't show any hole being there. Hasn't leaked before now. Might be another hole to suck water into the engine(it's below where the water is normally sucked in for the water pump)hence the water coming out when I raise the
engine.
Any thoughts as to what it's for and should I be concerned about the grease? We've been running the
engine hard recently at full throttle for longer distances that normal.
