Last time I was down on the river, I noticed the indicator stream was reduced to a slow dribble. There was just a drip of hot water dripping out. I didn't notice any reduction in power and the motor seemed to run fine on the way back, but I hesitate to take it out again until I remedy the problem. I did take the discharge tube off to make sure it wasn't plugged, and it was all clear. I didn't have time to run a wire or something past the tube, and through the fitting that runs into the motor. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. I'm fairly mechanically inclined and looking at the parts diagram it seems like a doable job to install the water pump repair kit.
