Couple of months ago, I was camping out and sort of forgot about the minus tide. Woke up stuck in the mud. :rolleyes: After I floated free I hosed off the motor, but apparently enough got into the pee hole. It's not plugged all the way: instead of a nice strong stream (teenage boy), it's a steady drip (old guy in Depends). I know the water pump's OK since the engine runs fine, but I'd like to clean out that little gob o' mud. The tube exits water through the exhaust overflow.<br />Any ideas? :confused:

Capn Mike,<br /> The tube you are referring to is accessible under the motor cowl.Remove the tube from the fitting.Start the motor momentarily to clear the hose of gunk.The fitting is most likely where the plug up is.Using the correct size,twist a drill bit(BY HAND)to clear out the fitting hole.Re-attach the hose....<br /> :) DO NOT USE AN ELECTRIC DRILL,ETC...
