So I have the boat running and took it out on water the other day and had only one hickup... after a long fast run accross the lake it started to missfire and then I shut it off and removed cover and found flywheel nut has backed off almost to the end. tightened it and was back on my way.
but.....
when approaching the loading ramps I was observing many other makes of motors.
100 yamaha when it was running I could see a stream of water coming from the rear of motor right below the top case.
i saw a honda motor do the same thing...
I know this is refered to as a tell tail for the cooling system right??
so watching my evinrude I have no water stream above the water line that I can see..... where is it. this got me worried is my water pump working or not. and how do I check if the water pump is working or not. just wana be sure mechanic said it wall checked out ok but he was using the muffs and garden hose. I just wana be sure my self that its working.
also anything else I should check before I take this motor out for any longer runs. it runs idles perfect, has low hours and pushes my 18 foot bass boat very fast its almost scary....
I have heard of some water pressure guages...???? where do you get them and how do they install.
any pics on here I know this was a somewhat popular motor in the day.
thanks for all the help.
