Hello,
I have a 2005 Mercury 4 Stroke 60 HP engine and it's not "peeing" water. The boat has not been used for the past 4 weeks. I tried to use it on August 23rd. The engine started up on the first try and it sounded great. I didn't see any issues. I decided to let it run for a few minutes and I noticed it was not peeing water out of the back. I then turned off the engine, tried to see if there was any blockage and I didn?t find any. I stuck some wires in the hole and I didn?t feel anything.

I then hooked up the hose to the back of the engine. I tried to ?flush? out the engine like I usually do after every trip. Nothing? There are only a few tiny drips which come out of the propeller but nothing like it usually does. I don?t even think water flows into the engine.

Any idea what this can be? I only have two more weeks of boating. I don?t want to take it to a marina because I know it will take too long.

Sounds like a water pump/impeller issue
