I recently acquired a boat that had this motor and hadn't been in the water since 2004, I believe the boat is a 77 and the motor is a 78. To my surprise the merc looks great and well taken care of and started up almost instantly without issue, and that is when I noticed it wasn't discharging water from the tell tale. After doing a bit of research I decided to move forward with removing the lower unit and checking the impeller, which was toast it came out in pieces but everything looked good aside from that.
I got it back together and it now looks like it is moving water up but its around the exhaust area and still not coming out of the tell tale, I have read and it sounds like the water tube isn't line up correctly or there might be a blockage. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on how to get the tube lined up correctly?
Thanks,
