Is this enough water output?

[wbjdmd]

I recently purchased this 1999 Tracker ELPT 40 hp motor. Never saw it run. I put new water pump impeller in and changed the lower unit oil, new plugs and new starter. It runs like a top but I'm concerned the output from water pump may not be enough. Please watch this video and tell me what you think.

Try cleaning the discharge with a piece of wire as its looks to be partially clogged....

Thanks, any other possibilities?

Supplying the pump with water pressure from a hose is no way to test the output of the pump.

I have run it in the lake and it looks similar, maybe a little bit more flow. Just harder to video in the lake!

Any other opinions??? I can video tomorrow in the lake for comparison.

Great. That's just what I needed to know. This motor has not been run in salt water but had a lot of dirt dauber nests in it, will saltaway break those down? Also, is the little brass plug on top of the motor (looks to be about 1/4") a place for a temp sensor or water temp gauge? Any idea of the part number or where I can get a gauge if so? Sorry, don't have a picture right now but will get one later today.

Definitely no tell tale, that's what bothers me. Every other motor I've ever owned or used had one. There isn't anything that even looks like onE on this motor. The serial number is OE360746.

Block never got above 129 degrees F. That sounds good to me. Whatcha think?
