Today i was running my nose cone with the water intake in some sand and small small stones at the bottom of the lake.<br />After that i checked if the engine still pee, but no, just a little weak beam of water droling out from the pee hole.<br />Got the engine out of water, took the lower unit down and checked and it was a lot of small small stones in there at the impeller house.<br />So cleaned it away could see some very very small scratches inside the impeller house not deep, could not feel them just see them (alot of them)<br />Well got all back togheter again but still just a week pee.<br />The engine runs att normal temp as long as i travel about 1500 rpm, but if we run it at about 4000 - 5000 the temp will raise to high.<br />Could it be thoose very small scratches or should we use some air compress to see if it can be something higher up in the engine?<br />It pees normal out of the lower unit.<br />Can also say that i got a nose cone that pics up the water so its easy to hook a hose on the engine with presseur. so we did but it still just pee.<br />Im not sure but i think i did have a strong beam when i use to hook up on hose even without the engine running.
