    I've never seen that before.  Is it just those two small areas?  Looks like maybe a defect in the casting.

    Weird that they were not there before. Definitely some kind of defect in material. Maybe send pictures & email to Mercury. Not sure i'd be super concerned but would monitor to see if it gets worse.

    Look up cavitation burn or cavitation pitting. Might be the cause
