Evinrude e-tec 40hp

[Crickschop04]

I have recently bought a 2004 Evinrude etec 40hp, and I have a couple of questions.

1.) Which of the two holes on the back is the pee hole? It appears like the the bottom one serves double duty as pee hole and flush port?

2.) If the flush port and pee hole are the same hole, is there a way to check if the impeller is working w/o actually putting it in the water?

Sorry, I can't answer question #1 for you...

#2 - no, the only way to verify water pump function is to allow the pump to pump water (in a barrel, in a lake, etc) vs being force fed by the hose.

Page 54 of the downloadable manual from the evinrude site says that the bottom hole (the one with the threads) is for the hose. Search their site or other video sites for people using a hose on it.

I just bought the same motor, but I haven't gotten it wet yet. Maybe tomorrow now that the ice is off the local lakes!

Found a video on another site, and it is the bottom hole. Thanks for the help!

I just got mine on the water for the first time to day and Greg is right. Me likey.
