    2000 Model XR-6 150 Question

    I pulled the boat out today to get ready to start fishing. I started the motor on the hose and it runs fine. I noticed the pee stream was almost non-existent. I pulled the nozzle off and ran a wire thru it and connected a hose to the flush out. Nothing really came out. After this the stream was still slack. When you slightly accelerate it get a little better but not great and what comes out is really hot. Is this a water pump issue? The pump was replaced not too long ago

    Believe the telltale on that engines comes from the thermostats so won't see it until they open, which may, or may not, happen when running on muffs. Might try the next forum down (2.0, 2.4, 2.5) for more info and be sure to include engine serial number.

    I had a EFI before I purchased this one and it had been a while since I ran it. I just remembered how strong the stream was on my EFI and the Rude I had. Thanks guys!
