i dont think that the water pump is out. i have a 88 evinrude outboard and the other day i noticed that the water was barley trickling out the hose. then it just stopped coming out the hose. it still comes out of the exhaust just fine. the motor is not get hot. is it ok if it still comes out the exhaust/ i will attemp to run a wire up in the hose to see if it is clogged later today. what do yous think
i use air pressure, but a piece of wire usually works.you may try to back flush it with a water hose.
im guessing the impeller (in a rely of a pair days off) went undesirable, which isn't likely, no longer extremely all that no longer likely. how previous grow to be it? are you interior the habit of cranking the motor without water connected? the two holes are exhaust alleviation ports -- their function is to alleviate rigidity to facilitate commencing, which might fairly be made confusing by using backpressure on the underwater exhaust. lots of the water comes out down via the decrease unit, despite if it is common to be certain water popping out those ports.
I think you might want to replace the water pump impeller.
