I have not had my boat in the water for two years. It started right up yesterday and I notice it was not peeing. I looked all around the motor and could not find a pee hole. I asked my neighber for a second opinion and he could not find it either. I looked at the flow chart in the seloc manual and it noted that (some) models did not have a stream, but just a mist.

Can anyone give me some insight on this???

Thanks

Mine is a 'rude 115, pees from both sides of the lower leg (by the prop) but just mists out of the 2 holes (looking back like half way in th elower unit)

Re: Water flow question

Noo teltale. Johnnyrude wasn't putting those on motors in the 70s. Back then you would check by looking at the exhaust relief holes on the back for spray. You might not get that running on a hose. Then look at the prop to see if water is flowing out the hub.
