I just started my 75 HP, 4 stroke, o/b 2005 Yamaha on my pontoon boat. It sits for months at a time. It fired right up. After a minute or so I looked at the engine to see if there was water spouting out. There wasn't any, so I shut it off.
I then hooked up my hose to the flush out port and still no water spouting out.
I figured the water pump might have froze in place from not using it enough, so I put the boat back on the lift.
When i got back in the house I thought maybe the engine has to reach operating temperature before it sucks water through it. Is this a possibility?
Thanks for any information,
Tom
