Water drip from lower unit.... am I being paranoid?
 

I have had my boat on the trailer in the driveway for about a week and a half now. I notice there is a constant dripping of water from the lower on the stbd side. Looks like it comes from the side water pickups on the lower, runs down the front of the skeg and drips on the driveway. I wonder about this because the port side does not do that. I have taken some air and blown the water all out but it just keeps coming... so where is it all coming from and do I need to be concerned? Thanks!

could be water getting back past the waterpump from the engine, may be a sign that waterpump is getting ready to fail, other than that, I can't thing of where it would be coming from.

Thanks for the response, I have newly rebuilt pumps and new impellers, etc.... I'm really confused....

Mine does it. I think it's just heat/cold expansion and contraction. I wouldn't sweat it.

It's just water getting by the waterpump from the engine....mine do it all the time and I have new impellers also.

What they all said.

If u take the waterhose of the pump and drain all the water out of the engine ,exhaust, IT WOULD STOP !!!!

So don't worry,,actually a good sign,because if water comes out.....water will go in. LOL:party-smiley-004:

Thanks fellas.... I have a tendency to worry to much I think!
