Hey guys,

I've recently acquired my first outboard. Never ran it before and don't know what to expect from it. It was mostly assembled when I got it but not completely.

Finally got the parts on and this puppy started. I ran it for about a minute tops and noticed no water output. It's supposed to have a new impeller in it, but I didn't do the install. I don't even know WHERE to look for water output to ensure it's pumping water.

What's the proper way to tell, and does this motor even take a while to pee, does it pee?

Thanks.

There should be a telltale hole on the port side between the 2 & 3 mounting nuts they are very prone to plugging up.
