    I have a 91 150 mariner replaced ompeller per instructions on IDA SITE i still have to wait over 1 minute for it to pee. Is there supposed to be any kind of gasket going from the big plastic tub coming from the pump other than the one that goes over the shaft? confused took it apart 3 times and still baffled. Any help?

    Sounds like a thermostat problem. The bigger newer (after 1980) motors have thermostats. Although I am not certain where its at on your motor.

    It could be just the thermostat causing the delay. How stong is the stream?
    I am sure that Jon Jordan will answer this one as soon as he can.

    Off topic….

    But this time of year those beatles (lady bugs or whatever they are called) like to climb in warm places.

    Check for water each time out!

    Most likely the thermostat. Probably not a problem. If it pees, you have it hooked up right. Takes longer to pee when you are using muffs and a hose. Drop it in the water, run it and keep and eye on it. Should be ok.

    Rumor has it, if you and big d wouldn’t of had so many beers, while doing this, you wouldn’t have this pee problem…

    Does the thermostat work the same on a boat as on a vehicle? Is ther any thing I need to look for?

    Thanks

    You might also check out the ‘pee hole’ on the back of the engine. My 50 Merc wasn’t displaying any water stream at all, and it just turned out to be that thing being plugged up. I took that plastic piece out (that’s actually kinda molded into the motor casing) and replaced it with spliced vacuum tubing, and now that thing shoots out like you wouldn’t believe. So you might check that out first.
