The first thing to do is disconnect the pipe where it comes through the casing and see if it works then. They normally have a bit of sh*t stuck just on the plastic part that comes through the shell, failing that blow or put an airline up the pipe to blast the sh*t away.

We carry a bit of brazing rod so we can poke the c**p out of the tell tale if it gets bunged up with salt (or sand if someone has a whoopsey and runs over a bank! )

1) Does water come out of the exhaust and how hot is what comes out?

2)What state is the rest of the waterpump-baseplate, gaskets and cover?

3) Are you sure it's not overheating (does your temp gauge/overheat alarm work ok?)

4) Is it 4 or 2 stroke?

5)Has it been flushed after use properly?

hi thanks for reply its a 4 stroke ,it has a brand new lever on it so the alarm should be working,,no water comes out the exhaust at all just steam but some time water trickles out the back and its rather warm to the touch,and it was took and doon by a boat shop every time it was took out of the water to flush it so im told,,,also gaskets and plates seem ok and i added a fine line of sealent as well to see if it helped with no joy

Do you hear the alarm for a couple of seconds when you turn the key on?

How long have you had it running on muffs? Long enough for the thermostat to open? Are we talking about the exhaust point on the back of the leg or what comes out of the prop centre on muffs?
