I bought this motor and of course tested it before buying and it peed fine while on the muffs. So a month later, I put it on my boat and put a bucket of water under it up to the cavitation plate and it wouldn't pee at all. Put the muffs back on: pees great. So I changed out the whole water pump and it hasn't changed anything. I barely have the hose on so it's not putting out too much pressure. In searching forums, it's usually more likely to not the pump on the muffs, but yes in water. Anyway, IDK, i'm getting tired of these 31.8's. I had a 1976 25hp that I was never able to get pumping any water at all. Should I just take it out to the river and see if it pumps while in deeper water? I can't go any higher in my bucket. Any thoughts?
