thanks for all the help on the force, i am scrapping it. bought a mercury and she purrs like a kitten, however, i noticed that there was no water coming out of the weep hole, i only let it run for about 20 seconds and nothing was coming out, does it take longer, what should i look for... thanks from scott..

get a manual, and drop the lower unit to check the impeller. they are cheap enough you should change it regardless, if only for peace of mind. if the impeller is good check the t stat.

check the tube of the wee hole a dirtdobber likes those . but change the pump like catfish said . ijust pulled one out of a 1974 dont think it has ever ben changed not a bad job . just dont force a tight bolt . corosen will lock thim up . if they tighten up whiole turning out go back on a little . spray with p.b. blaster or something like it . goodluck papasage <br /><br />p.s. put i foward and leave it there till you take itoff and put it back on . that is important on a mercuray. papasage
