On a late '80's Mercury, should there be a pee stream when running? When the engine idled for 20 seconds last night on the ears, I didn't see a stream from anywhere. I shut it down, because I didn't want to overheat it. Is this normal?

My 40's impellor crumbled after one season. but your tube might be blocked with debris. try blowing or flushing it out. look at my post above yours. According to the manual merc recommends replacing impellor every 2 yrs with average use.
