Water Pump

Hi i'm visiting my grandparents in Lake Placid,Florida and they have either a 2006 or 2005 pontoon boat with a 60 hp four stroke with fuel injection. Any way I was out on it about an hour ago to go fishing on the lake and I had noticed that the pee stream was weak and this worried me a little. and a few weeks before my uncle had noticed the same thing and it worried him to. Oh and by the way the motor only has thirty five hrs on it and they bought it new not used anyway my grand dad said that it only needs servcising every 100 hrs anyway my grandad said hit the hobs or H.O.B.S switch what is this and where is it located on the motor. I have no clue because I know nothing about yamahas except that there quiet and seem to start all the time. any help would be great. Thanks Dan

Re: Water Pump

Often this is the result of debris in the tell tail hose. Dirt dobbers in our area are the main culprit.
