I have a 2007 bf20. I have ran this motor for trolling applications since it was new. I have never had a problem. Until today. Went to the lake, motor started right up first pull like usual. Cruised out to our spot, threw the lines out and started trolling. . . . After trolling for approx 3 minutes the motor shut off. Pulled the cord and it started right up. When it started back up I realized there was no water coming out of the pee hole. I gave it a little throttle and water started coming out the pee hole but not at a very high volume. Long story short. . . . . If I run at low rpms=no water out the pee hole. If I run at high rpms=water out the pee hole runs fine no overheating. When running at low rpms it is just blowing steam out the pee hole.
I checked intake screens they were not obstructed. I checked the pee hole and ran a wire through it, it was not obstructed either.
My first thought is that my impeller is damaged/inefficient which is why it would only work at higher rpms? My impeller is the original one it has never been changed.
New thermostat?
Any help is appreciated.
