Question
fivebucks
I just bought this motor and when I bought it the tell tale was not very strong. I cleaned out the hose and it was a bit clogged - problem solved or so I thought. Guy I bought it from said he just replaced impeller. Now 1 1/2 weeks later I finally get it to the cabin and on the boat and kind of forget the water stream problem. I go a couple hundred yards and remember and it was not streaming but a few hot drops. More water was coming out the exhaust in the back. It was putting out a little blue (not oil type)smoke and then killed. I did not attempt a restart. Is a motor shuting off a safety feature on these motors to prevent overheating or did I just fry the motor? Anyhow, I am thinking the water pump might just be shot. How does one test the pump? I plan to get a manual and start taking off the lower unit etc. in the next few days and any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!
