Free: Contests & Raffles.
Keep em coming! We tried the pipe cleaner, we used weed whacker string and got about 18 inches up from the bottom and about only 8 inches from the top side(seems we hit a corner). The air came out but not through the other end. We are going to buy some "salt away" tomorrow as we hear that may work.
Also, if it won't pee on the hose then it definitely won't pee in the water. How does it run? Is it still cooling? Does it start to sputter after running it for a while? If it is running fine without sputtering or excessive smoke out of the exhaust, then it is getting cooled, which is good.Hey Birdguy don't you live close to me? Shoot me a PM before you take it in if you're interested. Free of course!
I have had a 40hp that was difficult to get to pee on muffs, and had to be submerged. Replaced an impeller, pump, and thermostat on it and could not get it to pee ever on muffs. Put it in a stock tank and she purred like a kitten and pissed like an old man
We will check the impeller again, it is the same size and make as the one we took out (bought at a Suzuki dealer). Yes, the pin is in and lined up correctly. I think with the pin it can only go in one way as the channel for the pin does not go all the way through so it really only goes one way. We started with pulling the plug out of the out port and ensuring things were clear as far as we could push the weed eater string in. Same for the pick up when we had the lower end off. If we had something plug or break it is in above the pick up in the mid section of the motor where we cannot see. We are considering dragging it to a lake to see if submersion changes things. It is just another annoying punch in the face this summer. At some point it has to get better.
Check the piss tube, right at the opening. Leaf cutter bee's and Mud dabbers love to plug the piss tube on my 150.
So a pretty weak stream but what seems like every hour or so?

Well only three other options.
Wired incorrectly?
Just don't run too long with no pee, you'll burn up impeller.
That's a Yamaha. His is a Suzuki.
Thank you for the recap!It is amazing what can be learned on this site at times!
