Re: Force 70 water restriction

Hi, and welcome to the forum. There's plenty of guys(gals) here that
can offer some great advice. As for your water issue, if you know that
water is actually pumping, then a lot of people add a "tell tale".
There's a "sticky" (thread) that you'll find at the top of this particular
forum that gives a step-by-step set of instructions for installing one.

Having said that, are you sure the engine is pumping water? Is it over-
heating at all and did you mean you changed the impeller? Salt water is,
of course, notorious for degrading impellar fins. I live in Florida and it's
been suggested to never go more than 2 years without changing it out.
Good luck.

Tks mate!!
I have replaced impeller one month ago and went boating few time in seawater doing 26 knots,engine great no overheating,the engine got buzzer and light for overheating working(tested ok).
I want to ask you,do this engine when factory made is supposed to discharge water from the 3 holed in the leg under motor or not ?
If is not than I have no problem because that's how it is made.
But if made to discharge water from these 3 holes,than I have problem and I want to fix it !!!
Please can you advise me
Many thanks
