Rusty,
I replaced my water pump a couple of weeks ago and just yesterday I was able to put the boat in the water. There seems to be plenty of water pressure judging from the stream from the pee hole. My problem is that the water pressure gauge is pegged at 40lbs. even when the motor is not running . What have I done? Did I not get the water tube inserted correctly when I installed the lower unit or did the gauge go bad. I could understand that if the tube was installed incorrectly that the gauge would read "0" but why would it be pegged at "40"? Thanks for any advice.
