Hey, I just bought a 1990 bayliner with a Force 150hp motor. A high pitched buzzer came on the boat while out driving it for the first time this summer. I was told the water was not coming out of the **** hole fast enough and the boat was overheating. So I bought a new water pump and installed the new water pump. I took the boat out again and the water does not seem to be coming out of the two holes in the back of the engine fast enough. Should the water be coming out at a fast rate? Or is the boat running properly? Any help would be appreciated. When the engine is at idle the water comes out with lots of air mixed with it you can see it steaming. When you accelerate the water stops coming out of the hole until you get around 4500rpm. Just seems weird.
