Hi!
New to boating. Can anyone tell me if it is normal for my Yamaha 200 hp V6 to "pee" while in the water, but not while on dry land? Checked hose is attached correctly, but get not water stream.

Thanks.....

no its not, however what size hose are you using and are you using full pressure on the flush muffs of at least 35PSI?
it can also be the first sign the pressure valve needs attention.

Actually, I removed the cowl (in frustration) and realized the connection I was told to use has a screw in it top side. Tried the muffs with a heavy duty garden hose (3/4 i believe) with full pressure.
