Hello everyone, hope your day is going good. This week me and a buddy replaced the impellors in our boats. (Mine 1979 70hp merc, his 1989 60hp merc.) They are pretty much identical jobs.<br />My question is this... How do you get the outlet tube seated correctly? Should it be pushed into the water pump all the way, then work the top in?<br />Or is it better to install it in the upper hole, then align it to the water pump and tighten up the lower unit? Mine is not pumping as much as in the past. My power head is very cool to the touch, but I am concerned about the low flow. It has allways flowed great, even at idle, but now only flows a little at idle. I have checked for restrictions also. None found. It does this on the hose or in the water. <br />Thanks for any help, tips, etc in advance.
