I've got a question again: If no water coming out of peehole, but plenty out exhaust/prop., it could be plugged pee tube right? I ran some cold wire (note-flexible)solder up hole - still wouldn't clear. New water pump/impeller needed? I would think not since water coming out exhaust(using flush ears of course). Thinking maybe stuck open tstat??

I don't think it's t-stat. take the pee hose off and blow through it. If it is clear you can follow it through the engine (for a little bit) with some flexible wire. It is probably just clogged but you want it open and working as this is the best way to know that your h2o pump is working. Does it dribble at high speeds?

Hey Thanks for advice, I did do exactly that before, but last night I took off tube and used cold solder wire and cleaned out water pump and tube itself, today when I put ears on and ran it, pee'd like a tall horse on a flat rock!!! Woohoo! :) She's ready for the weekend! Thanks , Heinz
