Almost flooded my keyboard, It's normal, at idle speed less peeing squirt, at thottle more, as long the engine is being well refrigerated it's ok.

6 months old just run in,The flow of water speeds up and slows down on idle.The video sort of shows that i think.

I saw this once on a Suzi 15hp. I think it was due to the thermostat opening and closing changing the rate of flow. I can't watch the video though as its blocked by the internet Nazis at work!

Took the boat out today and all was fine so it must just be how it is.
