Water pump tube

[Gram]

I have a 150 mag mariner 1987. Question is does the tube coming out of the water pump housing have to be seated in the rubber part of the housing. It also does not spit water out of the outlet until the motor warms up, could this be a proppet problem. Thanks.

The tube will seat itself in the pump housing.Be sure so silicone around the exhaust housing and the teltale wont pee till the motor warms up around 143 degrees if the T-stats are and should be installed.

1988 150 BLK MAX<br /> Just replaced the poppet in mine. I have a stream at the start. Easy to do & cheap. Now I know the poppet is good.<br /> Dead Eye

profish00 what do you mean the teltale wont pee till the motor warms up around 143 degrees if the T-stats are and should be installed. } I always thought they peed all the time reason Im asking is im having the same problem with my 77 175 v6 it only pees when you give it gas but will not pee at an ideal some thing eles my boat never runs over 130 degrees with bran new 140 t-states and I was told it was the poppet valve

Re: Water pump tube

It has always ran hot when at W\O but the alarm has only sounded once in ruff water. I put in a new pump, the old one looked fine. The T-stats are about a year old. I am going to change the Poppet and seal the chamber off which I did not do when I had it apart. And thanks for the replies.
