Water discharge...

[jimyoung]

For Tashasdaddy....we have the same motor, 56 30 hp rude.....I ran mine in the tank, should the cooling water exhaust thru the prop and the "holes" half way up the housing? I dont have any discharge from the "holes". The upper water inlet was in the water. I also only idled it.

Re: Water discharge...

you should have a mist coming out the exhaust relief ports on the back of the motor, if you can't hold your hand on top of the head for 3 -4 seconds it is not cooling. the motor needs to be submerge to the yellow line in the barrel, the pink line is where the impeller is. the blue is the water pickup, and major exhaust. water needs to be that high, because the impeller is not self priming.
