I'm dyin' here, hopin for some help. had this problem before - motor ran great in Maine, moved to Georgia, no water at the pee hole. I put it on the stand and started lookin at it. yanked the gear case, put the drill to the drive shaft and it shot water, popped the vermistat out, threw it in a ot of hot water, worked fine, no water at the pee hole. It sat around a while as I serially digested, left it and came back, cause i'm kind of short bus and that's how i gotta do it. I did find a weird cavity the water went thru at some point, opened it up, and BAM! TRASH! Cleared it, reassembled, life was sweet indeed for a while. Fast forward a couple of years, I went back to Maine while the motor sat in storage in GA a couple of years, then I went down and collected all my junk, motor included. Changed motor oil, gear lube, lit it up, no water. I didn't beliive the t-stat or the impeller, but I checked'em anyway, cause God help me, I canNot remember where I found the trash was last time. The factory service manual has been quite useless thru all this, annybody got any idea where the secret water cavity is? Even a diagram of the complete passages would prolly do it.
