My dad bought a boat this winter and when we got it we watched the guy winterize it. He was doing this white it was running on muffs. We got the boat to run today (on muffs) but no water was coming out the pee hole. This is the first boat we have owned. We are rookies. We also don't to take it to a dealer. Is there anything we're doing wrong? I don't know for sure what year the motor is i think a 1900 something. It is 90 horse.
Not to worry.If it was pumping in the fall when it was winterized then the tell tail is probably plugged.This happens all the time.Over the winter spiders or something will crawl inside the hose and plug it.The easiest way to clean it is with compressed air.Just blow out the crap.When you have done this if it still will not pump water then you will need to have a new Impeller installed in the lower unit.I suggest that unless you are confident that you can do it yourself you have it done by a dealer because without water to cool the motor it will not last very long.
Don't panic yet. Sometimes the tell-tale is clogged. Do you get water out the exhaust? If so it is pumping. Try putting a utility air nozzle to the tell-tale and giving it a puff.
PANIC RUN AROUND IN CIRCLES AND PANIC! Especially if you use the term PEE HOLE! There are many possible causes so take it to some body who knows what the are doing otherwise it's going to get very very expensive!
only replace the water impellor and housing -do no longer replace and hoses or tubes till you ought to. If the undertaking remains there after then inspect hoses. does the engine over warmth or is the water tension only low? despite if it is barely low then you definately have not have been given a blockage interior the engine possibly only the piss hose. ninety 9% hazard the recent impellor will fix it..do nto make greater artwork for your self.
