1972 9.8. I'm not getting any water from pee tube. In fact seems as if exhaust is coming from the tube. Have changed the impeller and using a drill to turn driveshaft, the pump works fine in a buckeet of water. Blowing air back through the tube, I can hear air in lower leg but it isnt coming through the cooling tube. Can there be a leak between water jacket and exhaust passages some where? Appreciate any help or ideas

Re: 9.8 cooling problem

Look at post #22 in particular. If this grommet separates, the exhaust has a way of pulsing out through the peehole. This is the exhaust cover. You will need to be careful not to break bolts, use heat and PB blaster. You will also need to order the gasket. You can find the part # at marineengine.com.
