I'd check the water pump housing and the plate it bolts to and make sure they aren't worn. Also, make sure the shaft key is good.

Re: weak pee hole v-4 johnson

Hey Boatright,<br />Is the motor overheating? If not, I wouldn't be too worried about it. A lot of things can cause a weak stream. Try blowing compressed air up through the hole while running the motor on "ears" & often it will clear it up.<br />Good luck,<br />Backlash

Re: weak pee hole v-4 johnson

Did you check the bypass valve when you changed the impeller? I'm not familiar with Johnsons, but my 1989 Yamaha had a similar problem. When I changed the bypass valve and spring, the stream of water coming out the pee-hole improved greatly. I would assume that Johnsons have this bypass valve as well.
