2006 Etec telltale trouble
Hi I am new to the forum. Recently purchased my first pontoon - a 2005 Crest III in good shape. Its Evinrude Etec however appears to have some trouble peeing. A little water exits the telltale but it is more of a spatter than even a trickle. The previous owner had it less than a year, never had issues, but did not know how long it has been since the engine was serviced.
Anyway, I know very little about engines but it sounds like the water pump is out, right? Maybe a dirt dauber nest in there even? It's been sitting in a slip for months - so maybe the water inlet screens are clogged up with algae?
Any ideas or advice before I pull the boat out of the slip and start turning wrenches? I added a 30-second video clip of what the telltale is doing.
Thank you, David
