The tell tale on my Johnson 175 just about dribbles water as in a few drops at a time. I removed the thermostats, and replaced the water pump assy. still no water any Ideas on what could cause this?

Probably just a clogged tube. Run some weed-whacker line up it and see if you can clear it out.

Thanks iwombat I found the problem, a combo of sand and a hornet nest, it flushed out when I pulled the thermostat housings off after I tried clering the fitting with the weed wacker line.

i ran my boat threw the bayou's down here one day and when i got back and hooked up the muffs to flush it out, no water draining:confused: so i pulled the hose off and blew threw it. lets just say i ruined a shirt:redface: water poured after:)
