Help at Port Burwell..

[Thirstystone]

Launched my 19.5 center console Springbok with an 89 Johnson VRO. Sitting at the dock starting er up. Got it running fine but noticed no water coming out where it should be...shut it back down. The boys at the marina were sitting outside and saw I was having a problem. 2 of them came right over to see if they could help... and help they did, they new the problem right away and fixed it right away. It seems that bugs like to get inside the tube. He took the tube out of the holder and blew it out the the water came forth with a vengeance. I want to give those two guys some praise and Kudo's for the help they gave me.

Viva La Burwell.

I keep some weed wacker line in the boat for this. I also keep a piece of it in the water outlet on the motor when its in the driveway to keep the bugs out

We always kept a piece of SS wire at the back of the boat when we are duck hunting because churning up weeds and crap would cause small bits to clog up the Pee hole. On one of my motors I removed the plastic Pee hole and ran a longer rubber tube and it's never clogged up.
