The water pressure from my evenrude has gone down for the last month and a half to zero now. Changed the water pump 2 months ago, water pours out of the back of the motor, just nothing out of the ppe hole. Checked the hose from the block and it is clear. Any suggestions on what to check and what could cause it? Would a bad thermostat that was stuck open cut off the supply to the pee hole?
If it ain't fried, it ain't cooked.

Yes, exhaust out put is what I am talking about pouring out. I guess checking the thermostat would be the eaisiest next step. No dirtdobbers, that's where the water is flowing out.

The easiest and CHEAPEST thing to do is run something down your pee-hole pipe. DANG THAT SOUNDS ROUGH AND BAD.  THEN miss with the stuff that cost you money. Use something like 80 lb test line, no power pro of course, and see if you can dislodge what ever is in the pee-hole line 1st then check the thermostate.

| I have had a small piece of shell get stuck in the discharge of the pee hole and when you shut the motor off it falls down and you cant see it. When the engine is running and not peeing look at the hole with a small flash light and see if you can see something blocking the hole. If it is take the flushing fitting that's around the pee hole out and run the engine that should clear the stuff from the hole.
