1999 DF 60 question

[skidmark1]

Put new water pump kit in today. Put on the muffs and only got a drip of water out the pee hole. Every thing looked good , but the water pump case did have some groves from wear in it in the top. Not sure what to try. How critical is the case wear to this problem. Oh, and i blew air into the pee hole and it seemed clogged, pushed a wire into it, but was not sure how much force to put on the wire. I was hitting metal.

Thanks for any advice.

You should put a new case in. The case and impeller work best as a pair and issues such as you have experienced can result if they don't mate up well.

While lower unit is off while changing case, connect the water hose directly to the water tube and see if water runs out of pee-hole.

Good luck.

check the hose

Try remove the cowling off the right side and check the hose coming off the water jacket . mine was cracked and I was losing pressure there.
