Is there simething that might be partially plugging the pee hose?? Had a similiar issue with a recently purchased 40hp Merc 2stroke. Motor wasnt getting hot but no water in pee hose, impellor just replaced last fall. Ran a wire up the hose but didnt feel any blocks. I took a chance and ran it at wot for just a minute...if it didnt pee I was going to shut it down. Just about at top speed it blew something out the hose and peed like a race horse after that. Must have had a bug or seed stuck in the hose.
