    2018 150 G2 - wate coming out the cowling...

    OK, so out on the water Sunday, not rough water at all, running her like i typically do.... like a raped ape. Noticed at one point she started sputtering and coughing water out of the lower cowling just above the hyd steering piston, at low RPM. Ran great at full throttle otherwise, water pressure ok, etc...

    Any one ever seen something like this before? I suspect a bad hose or something, Dealer wants to see it tomorrow, so I didn't F with it at all.

    Any ideas?

    Hears the cause can be a leaking seal on one of the side frames or side cover panels. Water gets driven between the frame / cover.
