Thanks for your help in advance:
I recently tore apart the lower unit to put in a new impellar because I had no water flow coming out of the pee hole at the back of the engine. The repair went well although the new impellar I received from the local dealer seems too large but indicated that the ends of the fins fold over inside the housing.
So everything is back together, new lower unit oil, etc and I start the engine up and still have no water from the pee hole. I've checked for screen blockages, none.
After the engine ran for about three min and felt hot I shut it down and opened up the thermostat housing and the thermostats was open, still no water through the pee hole. also checked the pee hole for obstructions, none.
there is no water even making it up the hose to the thermostat.
help please, I'm supposed to troll Lake Michigan tomorrow morning and can't figure this out.
