I bought a used Mercury 40/30 jet this week. It is a 2000 model (I believe) that has been meticulously maintained. I ran it today for the first time. Hooked to the hose it pee's really good. Moving down the lake it pee's really good, at idle it is just dribbling. I know next to nothing about a jet, but my prop motors all pee much better at any rpm. Does this need a new impeller, or when I sit still idling is it not deep enough to pick up water???? Hoping to hit a river tomorrow, but staying home beats overheating.
