sorry for posting this here,but it wouldnt let me post under frequently asked questions and i dont know where else top put it.could a mod move to right place.
i think i found a pretty good way to clean water passages.
i used a broken push mower cable in the end of a drill and carefully spun it while feeding the cable in thru the passage by hand.
it probably wont work for every application but it helped me out on a 62 3hp johnson.the motor was off the midsection and the lower unit was off.i ran the cable from the bottom all the way up and out the top.it had to go thru 2 bends in the water tube before coming out the top.it worked great.
