just purchased boat new water pump placed 1 year ago by previous owner. took boat out in cold water noticed no water coming out of engine where cooling water should be flowing. Is there a thermostat on these engines?

I think they do. How long was your motor running for with no water coming out? I would check and see if the hose is on the pee hole tube, if it isn't, it will come out somewhere else.

Sounds like the telltale drain is plugged. Remove the rubber drain hose from telltale fitting under cowling and check for sand ,dirt,ect.. Try again with water muffs. If no water remove a drain or vent plug on cylinder head and see pump is pushing water into water jacket.If no water is present better look at pump itself.
