Hello all:<br /><br />I got my sea king started up, when I had the shaft immersed in a can of water to run it, I didn't notice any cooling system water exiting the shaft. There is a hole about halfway up the shaft on the back that appears to be the pee hole - is this it? I ran it for about 15 to 20 seconds in the tub, and noticed some smoke, but no water coming from the hole. What may be going on here? Is the cooling system exhaust somewhere else on this motor? <br /><br />Thanks in advance for insights any of you may have into this.<br /><br />Tom Sutter

hey Tom,<br /> if it is submerged properly hold your hand behind that exhaust hole and if your hand gets wet it should be fine. It will not shoot a steady stream of water it will be more like a heavy spitting mist.if not go to napa and buy an impeller.
