    Where's the water intake on my Mariner 40hk Outboard motor?

    If you don't know when the water pump was replaced last you may want to replace it. The water stream you're referring to is called the telltale or pisser. I'm guessing hardwater fisherman may have answered your question about the water intake and if true it would be better to flush it in a tank...

    Where's the water intake on my Mariner 40hk Outboard motor?

    That's a good question and interesting lower unit. Did the previous not tell you? Do you have a trash can you can hang the lower unit in and see what happens? Have you unscrewed the plug that's labeled wash to the left of the top oil level plug to see what's in there? Looks like it was treated...

    bilge pumps

    As long as you have a live well pump and keep it running you're aerating the water as well. Post a few pictures of you holes. Your holes/drains should be the live well, bilge pump discharge above the waterline and the normal "pull or unscrew the plug" bilge drain.

    Gas fumes in cuddy

    Did you have the issue before replacing everything or did you notice the smell after? Is the tank foamed in? Get it pressure tested.

    Bilge Pump Wiring Question

    Are you going to connect it thru a switch or full time on auto? There should be one black wire that's ground. Do you have one solid brown wire and another brown/tan/white ?

    Gas fumes.

    Find out if your tank is foamed in. If you have a leak and no gas in the bilge there are most likely bulkheads surrounding the tank. You said "Getting gas fumes in the center console", do you mean cabin?

    Ballast resistor? why

    Isn't that what a condenser is for? They're just a capacitor that absorbed the rapid spike in voltage to keep the points from arcing. I'm going to read up about ballast resistors, I may as well learn something today.

    Ballast resistor? why

    I haven't heard of a ballast resistor but to measure the value of a resistor you need to remove at least one lead from the circuit but you need to know what the value should be. Does the manual state the value of the resistor? Do you have 12v between either side of the resistor and ground...

    2013 Yamaha 25hp 4 stroke running hot

    Start with replacing the water pump kit and check/test the thermostats. Any idea when they were changed out last? How was the stream of water from the pisser? Then track down the leak.
