[QUOTE="HOUSE, post: 225526, member: 4466"] Hey Ringo, I just bought my first tin boat last November and I have a Mercury Force motor as well, but it's a 9.9HP and I had the exact same concern...very little water coming out of the "pee-hole". I just started working on the motor this week, so I will tell you what I find. I am thinking that maybe the water output increases as the motor temperature rises? Has anyone ever heard of that before? I'll keep in touch, we might be in the same boat :wink: On a related note, is there any harm in storing an outboard motor in my garage all year without ever starting it up? I'm reading the manual now and it's recommending I put Quicksilver Storage Seal in all of the lines. Do most people do that? -House [/QUOTE]
