Bad water pressure 98 225 optimax
Replaced the water pump in my 1998 225 optimax due to low water pressure. I still have low water pressure and noticed today I'm loosing alot of water around the top of the lower unit. I know the pickup tube is properly aligned and I've made shure the water lines are free from obstruction this has me scratching my head any help is appreciated

I replaced all the gaskets under the housing also

Are you testing the pressure on the hose, or in the water?
-
It's in a large tub of water it has a low water pickup lower unit and the pickups are completely submerged

What is the pressure at idle?
Pressure specifications are given for idle and WOT only.
I suggest that you lake test the boat, because ram pressure will make a difference.
