Tandem Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Recently acquired this outboard, but noticed that when running it has a good stream of water from the engine water outlet, but also a 'sputtering' of water from the 'slot' below the pozi screw in the image. Manual refers to this part as an upper casing cover, but no details as to what the slot is for, or why any water should be 'sputtering' from it. Anyone with a similar outboard able to clarify and, more importantly, should I be concerned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I'd imagine that @suzook12 will be able to help with this! Welcome to the forum btw, feel free to post up an introduction. 👍🏻 Tandem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzook12 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Welcome to the forum @Tandem The cover you mention has the exhaust chamber behind it which carries the used cooling water also, so if there is a slot there, seeing a bit of water should be no surprise. Been a little while since I had my small yam so nothing to compare to.... Tandem and Saintly Fish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found (and drank) a St Emilion Grand Cru Classe for only about £32, and in the local supermarket too. Had a tour and tasting at a local organic vineyard yesterday which lightened my wallet somewhat but should keep my wine collection well stocked for a few months.

Port is nice, but I can never drink it quick enough to finish the bottle before it oxidises. Ideally they need to be drunk within a few days, but I find port too heavy for more than a glass at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's a drink to be savoured with good friends while reminiscing about past PB's and fisherman's tales, not chugged by the half-pint glass in a race to the bottom of the bottle!

We used to stay in a very nice rural property which was on the St Emilion vineyard. Very happy memories indeed 👍 However, as you can imagine, this year is much, much, closer to home, and we have stayed the week in Shaldon at a Beachside property, with just the 4 grandchildren.
