My father instilled in me at an early age to make sure the motor is "pissing" before we leave the dock. This lesson has saved me several times. Here in NC we have dirt dobbers that will quickly fill the hole and spoil your trip and has happen to me several times. A quick poke with a small round object and you're back in business. Tight lines and fair winds everyone.

This gentlemen is why mechanics earn their money. I'm a retired Merchant Marine Engineer. When something breaks you've got to get it running, time is money. Troubleshooting is time and money. Good video as always.

Careful using the stick, if you’re not careful it can break in the telltale hose. Don’t ask how I know 😬

[samuelelkins]

Thank you. Replaced my water pump impeller and still couldn't get a good pee stream. Watched your video and started tracing down the line and found the obstruction. Cleaned it out and works fine now.

[Prodagyxx]

You good sir have earned a like and subscribe. I changed my impeller and thermostat, no joy. Watched this, took off the air box, went straight to my fuel cooler blew it out, eureka! It’s peeing now. Bless you, you saved me lots of $$$.

YOU DID IT...!!! You inspired me to dive in and find the problem with the tell tail on my MERC 250EFI. Get this, a pebble was small enough to get through the block side barb, but too big to get through the tail side exit barb. So every time I stuck a wire hanger up there to clear it, that was just pushing the pebble back into the block....lol

[johnwalker]

I use a bike pump and insert an air nozzle into the tell tale and pump it... .. So far it has worked fine and no issues... If I have an issue with hose blockage I simply just change the hose... Why not have a filter service each year anyway... In saying all that I love these videos as they help me doing a lot of maintenance during the year and hopefully trouble free.

[THESEXYAPE]

My motor stopped pissing one time because the top fitting of my water tube had broken when I pulled my lower unit off so I could put a new water pump and impeller.... took me forever to figure it out. Needless to say I pulled the broken piece out and jb welded her back together lol. Still holds up to this day

[linnerddrennil]

Caught a boat mechanic in a bad mood one day. He told me " A boat is a big hole to dump all your money in". Lots of patience required. Good video.

[slimpickins]

I once had mud dauber wasps fill the telltale hose with dirt. I've found a long thin ziptie works very well for probing the hose for obstructions. It has just the right amount of stiffness & flexibility & won't break off.

[martinschulz]

I always tape the pee hole closed with scotch tape when in storage to keep the bugs out. I tape a reminder note to the ignition switch to remind myself to tear it off before staring. Scotch tape tears off easily without leaving marks.

[terrygrasty]

I keep a piece of weed eater line in the boat for this make sure the diameter of the line will fit

[chucktripp]

F 150 yamaha I replaced my pump and was very careful following your expert advice, which has saved me a ton of money. It did not pee at idle, so I pulled it back apart. The problem was the large O ring had moved when I put the housing back on. A lille thick grease held it in place while poping it back over the impeller. This might be a tip that you guys might want to add, as I see this problem a lot .. Chuck

[robert]

Had the same thing happen on a Yamaha 150. Turned out to be a mostly decomposed lizard stuck in a strainer about a foot or so before the output. We guessed the lizard was in the garden hose when the customer tried to flush their engine.

[meax]

Another key tip if you think your impeller is bad:
Undo the hose flush port and start up the motor. If water comes shooting out at a good rate you can most likely call your impeller good.

Took an old Waterpik for cleaning teeth . Attached to Tell Tale . Added vinegar, cleared clogged like a charm . Squeaky Clean…

[timhenderson]

Be on the look out for mud daubers! They love that opening. A piece of weed eater line will usually do the trick. Excellent info here, have never had to trace that far back!

[nyesgarage]

My outboard stopped peeing a few months ago. Noticed it after about a mile past the boat launch. Shut it off and trolled back to the dock fishing along the way. Once I got it home it was just an old torn apart impeller. Had an extra, replaced and good as new. Appreciate the video!

Good video-I had a no pee problem. A small wasp made a mud nest inside the hose. I pulled a vacuum on the hose and out came the nest. Good stream now.
