[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 484091, member: 3278"] [size=5]Here is what is happening. What comes out of your overboard indicator is just a tiny portion of the cooling water sent to the powerhead to cool it. The vast majority flows through the cooling system after which it is dumped below the powerhead back into the exhaust housing and out of the thermostat relief and through the exhaust relief (depending on the make, model, etc.)and through the propeller hub. This is a LOT of water! Some will pool up and eventually come out of all the places you have mentioned. This is normal so you can relax. Second. Most water pumps are not self priming. Make sure you have the water pump covered with water when running in a bucket, small tank, etc. [/size] [/QUOTE]
