no water out of pee holes,got lower unit seals

[glassmaster68]

took the 66 lark 8 to a boat shop and got all new seals in lower unit,,also got impeller replaced and bottom driveshaft seal,,well,,i put in in a barrel,had about a foot of water over inlet but no water out of pee hole,i got this done after checking lower unit oil,it was milky,,,i had checked one day because when we were out in it ,all the sudden it spuddered and it lost half power,would reeds cause this?,,,both cyl are firing great still ,i think its the carb,,,,but what about that pee hole?,,,it did spit out a lil water before i had the work done,,doesnt now

call the shop who fixed your motors seals they probably didn't fix your impeller right make sure they pay for it all bc marine shops hose you.

yeah,,i kinda feeled,"hosed" ,,,they prob wont say its any of their fault,,they said they didnt try it out,but the battery was left half hooked up and the fuel hose was up by its inlet,,,i had all that unhooked and stowed away when i left it

another thing you can do is take a small thin wire and push it up into the pee hose, I found mine was clogged with crap and once I did it, the water came out perfectly.
