A buddy of mine has a mid 90's Mercury 9.9 that was steaming big time with no water from the tell tale on the way in from duck hunting today. He also said he saw it spitting water from the tell tail in pulses prior to the steam pouring out and the pulses of water totally stopping. We killed the motor & used the electric to get back to the ramp to avoid overheating it.
What would be the first thing you would look at? Water pump? Clogged water jacket? I'm no mechanic but figured it has to be getting water to make the steam.
Thanks!
