Is Steam coming from my exhaust out let a tell tail that something could be wrong and its there all the time I am motoring what ever the rpm is or is it just the fact of warm water in cold climate ? and my engine temperature is normal and the flow in and out is fine and I have noticed that some boats have none and some have also steam but not as much as I have coming out .

If your engine is freshwater cooled via a heat exchanger and the exhaust gases and cooling water come out of the same 'ole, then it's reasonably normal,
Some injection bends design encourage the formation of water vapour ("steam"), my Beta does.
Very noticeable when it's cold or when the air is very humid - i.e. after heavy rain
If however, there's no good stream of water as well, then your mud box / filter is blocked - but you've said the flow is fine, so the above applies.
