[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 152022, member: 3278"] Is this on a hose or in the water? Has the engine been previously overheated (with probable pump damage)? Is the engine overheating now? If it's not overheating now then it really doesn't matter how long it takes for the pee tube to start. Another thing to remember here is that some model year engines had the tube coming straight out of the exhaust side cover and around the back of the cylinder head to the overboard indicator and others had the tube exiting the exhaust side cover and then up and over the cylinder block before hitting the overboard indicator. That difference alone would make several seconds difference. There are so many variables to your question that there cannot be one correct answer here. Best one I can think of is that if it isn't overheating then it is doing its job. Check it this Winter if that's the case. [/QUOTE]
