How do I know if My water pump is working, when running with muffs on sometimes I have seen the streams of water coming from the top of the out drive and sometimes not. can I tell by watching the temp gage when driving the boat. it does not get over 170 degrees. but I'm concerned. also this boat is new to me and I don't know how to check and fill the fluid levels in the outdrive I bought a seloc manual and it doesn't address the issue very well. do I need a pump to change the oil in the lower unit(81 omc before the cobra I believe.)Help i'm going on vacation next week.
