mid 70s 50hp mercury pee hole

[mirage5058]

Here is the serial number of my 50hp merc that i am having problems with,2105632,As per the answers i recieved on my post friday,i checked the pee hole and cleaned it out i also disconnected the rubber hose from the hole side and ran a weedeater line through as far as i could i think it went as far as the head.i could not push the line any further after cleaning rubber hose out still no water coming out,If anyone could tell me the year of my motor from the serial # i would appreciate it,and also should i have been able to push line further then just to head? Thanks

Re: mid 70s 50hp mercury pee hole

what is your problem? do you have a tell tale? people need to know more then you fishing a weed eater line through. is there a tell tale, if so how strong, if not, what have you done? replace impeller, check for blockage by garden house through the lower end copper line, etc...

According to your serial #, it's more a mid 60's than a mid 70's:

Mercury 500 (50,0) - from 2097445 to 2305100 - 1967 - 4 cyl
