We noticed this past weekend that the water check port was not spitting out water on our Nissan 40hp motor. We had run through some seaweed but cleared it out. The water inlets looked clear. I guess either the impeller is worn (3 years old) or something got sucked up into the water line. Any thoughts??
Thanks,
Bill

Run a zip tie or piece of weed whacker line (sturdy/flexible) up into the line 4-5" inches to make sure some bug hasn't built a nest in there. .

Yes. best to do that while running so the water flushes out any debris.
