I had to replace the power trim on my 2001 Yamaha F100 so I decided to do a complete spring maintenance down to replacing the primer bulb. I hooked up the earmuffs in the driveway and cranked her up. She ran fine, but when I looked to make sure the "pisser" was working I noticed that there was water coming out of the hole that I think is for the speedometer. I could also see water where the vent holes are. Is this normal when a hose is hooked up or do I have a loer unit issue. Thanks for any advise.

It could be several things:

1. Muffs not on correctly
2. Not enough water coming out of the muffs
3. Tell tale (pee hole) plugged with debris
4. Impeller / water pump not working correctly

I listed them in order of easy to hard to check and correct. Good luck.
