Fished a small tournament yesterday, mostly in areas with speed limits, very little high speed use. Started getting "rev" warning light intermittently. Noticed I had no water pressure. Tried revving it up out of gear got surge, indicative of a heat issue. Got beeps from horn. Still no WP.
Since I was still fishing (but not catching) within 100 yards of the launch I idled short stretches with no issues but still no water pressure. Removed cowling when I took the boat out, no sounds of overheat, felt the block, warm but not hot.
I bought this motor new this year and have another must go tournament in two weeks so I don't have time to turn it in to the dealer. It's quick and easy to remove the L/U and check the pump, I'll call the dealer today to ask if removing the L/U will void my warranty.
Both inlet screens allow water to flow freely. I will put it on muffs first today. Water IS going into the top it runs out when the motor is tilted down.
First I will see if it's peeing.
