Mercury Outboard
110 9.8hp
2 stroke, short shaft
Been out on the water walleye fishing lately. Noticed yesterday that the outboard don't pee that well today, sorta drips then pees.
so I just thought, hey might just need new impeller or water pump. So went out bought new pump kit n impeller.
get home, drop lower unit. Pump and surfaces are covered with this sludge (grease maybe, brownish greenish).
wipe sludge off, checked impeller and pump. All fine....odd...
so I wanted to try something. I took the hose from the tell tale and blew in water into it gently. Awaiting to see water flow down the water tube.
Turns out, maybe 20% of the water I gently blew into hose from tell tale comes out of water tube. The rest (80%) is running down the inner walls...
what could be wrong? Where is this leak and is it an easy fix?
please help diagnose and find solution, walleye is biting hard!!!
