Replaced the water pump. Still not getting good stream.

When I put the water / garden hose on the boat water intake tube, it seems to pump a good bit of water into the engine. A good bit of water comes back out, but nothing from the "pee" hole.

I take the outlet hose, and a small adapter, and send water into the hose. When this happens, no water comes out of the boat water intake tube. It come out around the exhaust channel, but not out the tube.

Any pointers? Thanks in advance.

I had to feed some thin weed-whacker line up the pee hole for my 1500 before it ever gavew a stream out of it. On my 850, I just blew some air up it. Both seemed to work for me.
