Re: Evinrude 115 wierd water spray

[RICK EICHRODT]

In later OMC larger size motors, the midsection on those motors were relieved around where the bolts attach the lower unit to the tower. I believe it was because in salt water areas, that would allow the lower unit to be separated easier. I have seen some of the earlier OMC motors spray small streams of water out around the seam. It could be the "wall of water" which helps silence the motor leaking due to a work out rubber exhaust seal on the lower unit. It is nothing to worry about, as long as the motor is pumping water out the tell tale indicator tube and out the two exhaust relief holes.
