Hello all, new to the forums, greetings, salutations, and a question. I just got this boat and motor last year in the fall, just put it in the water for the first time, it runs fine, idles a little crappy, but aside from that, it pushes my little 14' tracker like a rocket. But. It seems like it is awfully loud. I've never had an outboard this loud, it seems like there's a lot of exhaust coming out of the pisser for the water pump, but there's a heavy stream of water coming out too. There's a big black stain going down the shaft from the pisser, I know it's not normal for it to be as loud as it is. Should I be ordering an impeller and trying that first, or should I be pulling the powerhead and checking a base gasket or something along those lines? I know motors pretty well, but I'm not real familiar with the whole water cooled two stroke setup the outboards have going on. any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks
i should also add, that it doesn't do this when it is hooked up to the hose, I just fired it up to verify.
