Water leakage

[captjimjr]

I have a 1979 angler with a 120 omc and a 400 omc out drive. Got her ready for the season and after getting it running I have water coming out from the bell housing? Prop spins in forward and reverse, motor ran good( for the short time I ran it ) and didn't have any steam or anything from the exhaust. What could it be?

this is a site of a boat manufacturer that largely has used outboards for the past 20 years. might be better to find a better place to ask this question. just sayn….

May be a freeze out plug behind the flywheel

Anything from a loose hose to a cracked block from improper winterization. Tough to say from where I am - hard to see it. Get a mirror in there or use your phone.

Yeah, at this point, we'd really only be guessing. Kinda like "My car is making this funny noise - what's wrong with it?"
