Im a boating newbie i just bought a 1986 Bayliner Capri with 50 horse outboard seems to run great the one time i brought it out but water barely trickles out of hole on back of motor is the water pump bad or impeller shouldnt it come out like a garden hose? Dont want to destroy my new motor. Model # is 507X6A Serial 2059 PLEASE HELP!

I'm new to this site but I have a 19foot maxum with a 125 force outboard that I have owned now for about 4 years. When I got out on the lakefor the first time it was also not pushing water out very well at idle. I replaced the water pump impeller and took it out on the lake. Worked great with now problems at idle or wot. The impeller is a good place to start and a low cost fix. If your water pump housing or impeller housing had a gasket then you will need to replace it as well. I hope this will help and good luck. One thing I have learned is the water muffs work well but on tthe water will tell if it's working the way it should.

The 50 needs special muffs.See pic.It will overheat with regular muffs.
Just as a precaution replace the impeller.Then rebuild the fuel pump and check/replace the hoses.Install a filter between the carb/pump.J
