So I flushed out these Yamahas plenty of times at idle speed just letting the motor run... I've never seen or heard the pressure of the water getting blown out horizontally the way it does in this video on the left side. I noticed it because it was the first time I heard the pressure noise of the water getting pushed out faster and decided to look.

Also on the right side a single stream of water falling down vertically ive never seen before either... But for this boat which is new (2024 ar190) bought this year, this is also the first time I've looked. (Because of the pressure noise I mentioned about).

Your link doesn't work
 
Upload it to YouTube and embed the video here, or just post a few screenshots.

Did you rev your engine after pulling the boat out the last time? If not, that could be just pressure built up from water being in the waterbox from your last use. Looks fairly normal to me.
 
I did not, just hooked the hose up as soon as I got home (5 minites away)and flushed it out at idle speed.. then eventually I did rev it up to blow it out, just not before this.

What are your thoughts on the single little stream on the right side coming down. I've never seen that but I also have never looked until now.... So not sure if that's normal or God forbid there's a little hole somewhere
