no water from pee hole in neutral gear

[yoonhahn]

Hello I am Hahn. I've just join this forum. I am very new to outboard motors, and just bought 1982 7.5 hp mercury outboard. The ex owner said It need to change impeller so I changed it from watching youtube. After that, water not coming out of pee hole in neutral gear, but it coming out in forward and backward gear. Is it normal or something wrong? please help me. Thanks

Welcome to iboats Hahn.

Water should be coming out the pee hole in all gears, including neutral.

I would suggest that you replace the thermostat and see if that will remedy the situation.
It is part number 33, in the diagram in this link:

Hi Thank you so much for your help and Merry Christmas.
I found same diagram according to my motor's serial number, but my motor is not same as diagram. I have no clue.
There is no thermostat in my motor. Pee hole tube and connector go straight through cylinder and no thermostat assembly from part # 29-35.
serial # 6111515 thanks

Was the guide tube used to get the copper water tube into the pump on assembly ??----And on severe overheat a plastic piece at the top of the water tuber melts and then blocks flow to the motor.

Thanks for replying again I wonder you can see pictures clear. As you can see, I couldn't find thermostat.

?----Correct there is no thermostat on your motor.-----Thermostat was only used for a few model years.---And perhaps it is not the original powerhead either.

Hi

I will try one more time to fix this problem. Before that, I need to be clear about impeller kit. When I bought the impeller kit, It had impeller, metal cover, plastic
tube, small metal key, and three rubber rings.I put thick the rubber ring top of water pump, and used one of ring placing top of drive shaft.
What is another rubber ring for? Please help me. Thanks.
