So I got my 68 merc 200 up and running. Started right up with hardly a pull at all. This motor has sat around for a long time and I've just started fixing it up. I'm concerned that its not peeing properly (sorry I dont know how else to say it). It seems to be a good stream to me, but I dont know. I intend on replacing at least the water pump but maybe just the impeller, but I'm struggling to find the parts.

Anyways I posted a video someone want to tell me if it looks normal enough to let it run for a while. I'm hoping to get the impeller next week. I'd just like to take it out for a quick spin this weekend, I just dont want it to do any damage.

Looks okay to me. Always a risk with old motors though.... if it breaks apart you'll be swearing chasing rubber bits that clogged your cooling circuit. Keep a keen eye on it.

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like the boat wont make it on the water yet. I have some lower unit issues. As it turns out, white oil is not cream filling :(
