But it still didnt pee very hard.. I put the boat on the trailer, take off the water inlet cover/strainer, and clean out any debris? Besides a few clumps of hair I've tore out... While I had the lower unit off and the cylinder head cover off to replace the thermostat, I used a hose to push water through both directions of the cooling system to make sure there were no blockages, had great flow.
When i brought the boat home and put the motor on the water hose the "pee" stream seemed weak to me, just not very much pressure at all. To restet codes), no water out Port pisser after 20 sec of idle. Hey guys.. Im new here, I just recently purchsed my first boat, a 1987 20ft proline cc with a 225 evinrude vro. Pull the impeller and it has two broken blades. I ran the boat all day at about 4500 rpms the stream really isnt that strong and never overheated. Sorry for such a long post, just wanted to give as much info as i could. I have no temp or pressure gauge and Im not sure if this thing has a tempature alarm or not but its never gone off. And after swapping it out the "pee" stream didnt really get any better. Any other suggestions? I changed the water pump along with all gaskets in the kit, thermostat and a new head with yamaha parts installed about a year and a half ago the stream was very strong then. We have cleaned out ports/pump/shaft/impeller and water inlet screen clean ( visually in water). I replaced the impeller and also replaced the crusty old thermostat.
Bucket with both Port & Strbd. I did not want to post this on the "on water help" forum, we are safe and off the water now. Don't think I should do in the water. Long time lurker, sad this is my first post. Its gotta be late 80's early 90's though.. its got dark blue paint and vents on the cowling if that tells you anything. Long story short, sucked up a bunch of Milfoil like weeds (long and stringy), Port overheated, and quickly shut down. I pulled the Thermostats and blew out all the rubber hoses to clear any blockage. Now I bolt it all back together and all Im getting is tting in a deep bucket so I know it's well submerged. The boat was a salt water boat when I got it now I use it in fresh water. Got it home and put it back on the hose and running it in the lake must have cleared out the cooling system because now both heads feel about the same temp, luke warm is a good way to explain it. I do not know what year it is.
I hook up my earmuffs to my motor, because i just put in a new water pump and i wanted to test it before i go in the water.. What am I missing here? When i got it home on the hose, i ran a wire up the pee hole, pulled the hoses off the thermostat housings and im not getting any water coming out anywhere. Anyways i put it in the lake and ran it and it did great. I dont belive there was anything wrong with the one that was in there, it looked almost brand new. I have an older Suzuki DT25 (1984). Any help at all is apreciated. I'm going to try to run some wire on the other side of the hose whe it connects on the exhaust side.
