No pee

[finatic]

I changed the impellers and water pumps in November just fired up the motors after sitting 5 months. And no pee from both motors WTF,,, any suggestions I really don't want to drop them.

Both motors?

Usual cause is not getting the shaft into the hole which would require dropping the lowers and getting the drive shaft in that hole.

It has to be in there every thi g lined up perfectly. I did need help with the port side.

I'm thinking because I used a different water and hose supply it wasn't supplying enough water. Tomorrow I'll use an outside water source with a bigger hose. Exterior water is still off for the winter🤞.

Here in NC it’s usually those stupid mud daubers plugging the hole. I’ve found 400# leader works well to clear, but any plastic stick about 12 inches long. Works best with water on.

I didn't even thing about that, they hit me every year too.  I need to run 100+ lb mono up there to clear it out. Very annoying when I get to the ramp and no pee.

Fin,
Gerry rig up a garden hose "y-valve". Attach the flushing muffs on one outlet of the "y-valve" and attach to the gear case. Run a short piece of hose off the the other "y-valve" outlet and connect to to your motor's flush port. Turn on the water, start the motor, then trim up the motor about a third while its running. The 150's can be a bit touchy getting a solid stream out of the water as its a pressure thing. Trimming up the motor along with added water pressure is the ticket.
Cheers

My guess is not enough water pressure. I don’t have enough pressure at the marina but if I bring it home and hook it up I have plenty pressure to make it pee.

AND you win the prize, o shit we can't accept them only give them away. I used a different water supply and all is good. I gave myself an O shit moment last night, I should know better.
