Tell Tale on a 9.9 Mariner

[Belchy]

I have a '99 9.9 Mariner outboard that only produces a dribble at idle and at low speeds. At WOT it is a steady stream. Should I look at replacing the impeller? I do a lot of slow speed trolling, should consider this a problem? <br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Belchy

I would go ahead and do it. Its cheap insurance.

does it have a thermostat <br />Look near where the water comes out of the pee hole for a round bulge<br /><br />I would say that you motor is doing the correct thing and keeping the engine warm at idle and slow speeds<br /><br />As Nat says, new impeller cant hurt once a year
