I have a 1997 Evinrude 15hp Model# E15REUC
It doesn't have the "tell-tale" stream of water from the engine. I've changed the water-pump, water tube,thermostat, and lower gasket(#21 on the Exhaust Housing). I placed the lower unit in water and used a drill to turn the shaft to check the operation of the pump, and it seemed to work pump water out fine.
I've attached an external water hose to the water tube to see if forcing water thru the engine will expell the water thru the vent, and it does.(engine not running)
It starts up fine, and runs good, but no water stream comes out.
Today I decided to try it out in a local river, and no joy.
After about five minutes running, the only thing that comes out of that vent is exhaust fumes, but no water.
Can you please help?
