Having had an out board for many years, Here are my quick things to look at most of which have been previously mentioned....

--- There are always opening in the Cowl that should allow the water to drain.... sometimes they are small and get plugged up.... find them and note where they are for future knowledge..... and keep a coat hanger ready if they are of that size....

--- There are usually multiple tubing connections for the water circulating system in the block..... these leak and sometime tubing needs to be replaced.

--- last don't be afriad to start the engine with the Cowl off, and look for any potential water Jacket issues or leaking tubing.....

--- last how much water are you talking????
