New guy needs a little help 2002 F115 4 stroke

[rageous]

Hello
I just bought my 1st boat, so I will be inundating you with some questions that may be dumb to most so please bare with me, and thank you for your help.
Here is what I have
2002 Triumph 190 Bay, with a 2002 Yamaha F115TLRA.
My 1st newby question is: When I start my engine with the garden hose muffs on it, should water be coming out of the higher water port? mine does not, does the engine have to get hot first?
Thanks again
Mike

How long did you run her? Have you asked p/o about this issue? A shop manual would be a good purchase. Start by running a weedwacker string up into telltale while she's running. Was engine run in saltwater? could be a buildup of salt throughout cooling system

need to make sure water is coming out of the pee tube up top sometimes you'll need to adj the muffs to help it out
