its just a cover plate for a u-shaped mounting bracket....just whip it off and have a look..you will probably find some corrosion in there...how bad is anyones guess till you take a look..
Hi guys,
Anyone know what this little cover plate is for?
I noticed when I flushed the motor, there was some water coming from around the edges of it.
The one on the other side seems not to do it.
Is it just a seal of sorts?
Cheers

Just a cover for the mount.
Check it out on the BRP website.

Drill down with the drop down menu.
Beat me to it disorderly, how's that boat coming along, you got a stiffy yet?
2 weeks till she arrives, mate...counting every hour and trying to get everything bought and organised so I can get her on the water ASAP...
Its been one of the worst windy weather years I have ever seen in FNQ....so I haven't missed much but it looks like the weather pattern is finally changing with the dry season here plenty of fishable weather ahead now...
The water comes from a port between the mounts....it is a standard outlet for water on that model. It drains water from under the powerhead forward half, the rear half comes out of the rear of the leg and the exhaust comes out the prop.
Jack.
Thanks, so it's normal then?

Normal. Mine does it too.
