I HAVE A 1980 9.8 MERC, ASSUMING IT IS THE SAME THE PEE HOLE IS ON THE LEFT SIDE UNDER THE COWLING AND SHOULD HAVER A CONSTANT STREAM FLOWING FROM IT. TAKE A PIECE OF ELECTRICAL WIRE ABOUT NUMBER 10 OR 12 AND STRIP THE INSULATION OFF OF IT AND INSERT IT INTO THE HOLE, IT MAY BE PLUGGED UP, ALTHOIUGH IF IT ONLY HAS ABOUT 20 HOURS IT SHOULDNT BE, MAYBE THE IMPELLOR ( water pump) IS NOT WORKING AFTER ALL THAT TIME, WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO CHANGE IT ALONG WITH OTHER MAINTENANCE,
