I have a merc 110 9.8hp with waterpump troubles. I just got this motor so I have no history on it. I got it running but I noticed that it wasn't pumping water out of the tattle tale hose. So I went in and put in an impeller and seals and it still won't pump water. I blew through the tattle tale hose and the only way I can get bubbles in the water is if I hold the three (exhaust) ports closed on the back of the motor with my fingers. This tells me that there is no obstruction and that the line is hooked up properly? Yes...No??? Is there something I missed or is there a gasket up in the powerhead that is bad. Please let me know if you have any great ideas. Thanks
