A friend gave me this 67 merc. 9.8. I just installed a new impeller and wear plate on my water pump. When I first started motor water came out strong then started to get weaker. At times the water comes out ok but almost quits at other times. What would my next step be to fixing this problem or is this normal. Rpm does not seem to effect it's much as you would think. Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks from the week pee guy!

The 'pee' hole often gets clogged on these motors from bits of sea weed or other marine life. I usually keep a foot long piece of weed whacker cord with me to clear the pee hole. At one point I reamed out the opening 1/16" so it would clog less frequently . . it still does, but it is better than before.
