Hot Water coming out of the front of a MERCURY 200 optimax outboard?

Julian asked:

I was driving my boat when i noticed there was hot water coming out of the front of the outboard motor. I thought the water cooling pump was leaking but there is still a very strong stream of water coming out of the pee hole when the water was leaking.
I don't have a camera but the water seems to be coming from the front of the cowl were the wires coming from the boat go into the motor.
