92 pro-v 200 cooling troubles

[FlukenLizard]

Ive got a 200tlrq that I started yesterday to find that it wasnt shooting water out of the pee hole, pulled lower unit and the impeller didnt seen to bad...still soft and flexable, Im gonna replace it anyway since i got it apart, but I also remembered the poppit valve post at the tip of the page.....I pulled the cover off and the little black thing (poppit valve im assuming) was a SOB to get out, reckon this is my trouble? poppit vavle sticking?? any help would be appreciated I need to know before i order parts

I had an issue with water pressure last year and the plate under the impellor was worn and had rotated inside the housing a little. This was restricting some of the volume of water causing it to lose som pressure. I would also check that. You can buy the whole wp housing in a kit. Also check the pee hole for dirt dobbers with a peice of wire or a straightened fish hook.

the pisser is clear, I checked that....the plate looked ok but Im gonna put the whole thing back in new just for peace of mind.

The stem on the old style poppit valves was prone to getting seized by the grommet seal. Yamaha came out with a new redesigned PRV (poppit) that's mushroom headed and doesn't use a stem thru the grommet design. Install this new style poppit and a new gasket. Also check your thermostats and make sure they open and close to spec. Always use new gaskets and a proper torque wrench when re-installing. Do you have a water pressure gauge installed?

I ordered the new style poppit thingy....and sadly no I dont have a water psi gauge installed but I do have one ordered and it will be there next time i put it on the water. It inda felt like it was stuck in the rubber bushing when i pulled it out
