    water tank for 25hp Mercury 2-stroke, not peeing

    If the water level was to low to pump the water then it was to low to lubricate the impeller so I think your hoping for the wrong problem.. some engines don't pee much when idling that is what you should be hoping for

    Replacing 95 merc 4.3 with 87 OMC 4.3

    Lol I already ordered new elbows ... but that doesn't mean I have to use them now .... also the surface on the manifold's should be pretty good since I was able to seal them with a 1/4 inch peace of aluminum an put 40 psi to them right?
