I've owned this motor for a year and since day one it take 3 to 4 minutes for water to start coming out the telltale. I changed the thermostat thinking it was hanging up but this did not correct problem. High temp alarm does not sound. This is my first Tohatsu, is this normal? The motor starts blowing out steam prior to waterflow. Problem occours on a cold start only, it does not occour for the rest of day. You can raise the idle to speed up then the time required to get water out the telltale is reduced, but on all boat motors I have owned in the past, flow out the telltale was immediate. Help please.
