2003 Vmax EFI, water exiting Upper exhaust ports at idle...Normal?
At idle even in neutral I noticed some water exiting the upper exhaust ports along with the exhaust itself. I really haven't paid any attention to this before, but was wondering if this is normal.. Boat is in neutral and at idle, 600-800rpm...
I'm more experienced with older carbed V6 mercs which didn't do that....
Water pressure is around 4-5 psi at idle at 700 rpm. It may have dropped a few psi from last season, which has me wondering... Water pump is about 1.5 years in use...
Thanks in advance.... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif

I think it's ok. I sometimes see it exiting from the upper relief holes on my hammer. Usually, I'm in front of the engine, or I might notice it more.
