Re: 2000 MERC 125hp water pump problems
Did your motor overheat? If not, it's quite possible that there is an obstruction in the telltale (pretty common). With the motor running (in the water or on muffs) blow compressed air back through the telltale hole. That usually clears the obstruction and you'll have full flow again. If the compressed air doesn't work, try feeding a small flexible wire back through the telltale hole to clear it up. <br />When was the water pump last serviced (impeller replaced, etc.)? Impeller replacement is a matter of routine servicing of an outboard. At a minimum, it should be replaced every other year...more often under certain conditions.<br />Backlash
