Re: new impeller

Water that comes out of the exhaust relief holes is just incidental water that gets blown out with the exhaust gases. Some motors realy blow a lot out. Some not so much. When the t-stats open more water should come out. If she's running cool then don't worry about it.

Re: new impeller

it will also pump out more water when you're on the water compared to running it on muffs, big difference.

Re: new impeller

those motor really don't like muffs, they prefer test tanks.
