Hi Guys,
I havent had my boat in the water for two weeks and when I fired her up i found that the water wasnt coming out of the "pee hole" sorry for the term and continued driving and then I could see the water coming out. Do you guys think I should be worried about this or is it normal if a boat has been sitting on dry land for 2 weeks. It is a 2009 mercury 30 horsepower.
I appreciate it guys thanks Andrew

Re: mercury outboard 30 horsepower question

I'd be a bit concerned. Water should start pumping as soon as the motor turns over. Less than 10 seconds. Good news is that it DID pump eventually. How long did it take?
