    Normal cooling?

    2000 amberjack 290, bravo 3s. I just noticed this today and wonder if it's normal. Was rinsing motors and doing salt away. While I was down by the drives every once in awhile water would come out the exhaust along and it squirts out the muffs like it's cutting the water off. I thought water...
