Last year Lila Mae, our 13-foot 1969 Boston Whaler, started dieing on us. Last week we got it out of the garage, hooked up the ear muffs to the hose, and started her up. She started, but I noticed the pee hole (or telltale) was not spitting water. Yikes. After the first bit of spoke came out of the motor we turned it off.
So today I changed the lower unit gear lube then took the little water intake filter off and poked around with a screw driver looking for debris. I also shoved a paper clip into the pee hole, as well as spraying water in the pee hole and flush intake.
All the messing around must have dislodged something because when Melissa cranked her up, she started peeing again! Woot! Looks like Lila Mae will be taking us out on the water next week.
