    water pump 35 hp

    Re: water pump 35 hp Most water will exit through the snout on the lower unit. The 50/35/25 needs a special muff. The ones used on the bigger motors work, but can actually cause it to overheat. You should get some water out the mid section. Maybe just a mist or even steam?
