Started it up. No water out pee tube. Any easy stuff to check or go right to impeller. Was winterized etc as per normal and was working prior to winter. Back negates pulling bottom leg for a peek, Might be ice but tilted and drained normally. Engine has about 80 hrs. Leg serviced at 30 hrs. Sat in garage for two days prior to start so wasn't froze. Can't see any crap in the intake slots.

You have a blockage in your p-tube. It is usually spiders or some other insect. That happened to me, so I ran a wire into the tube, worked it a few times, flashed the engine again, and had a water stream happening. Quick, easy fix.

I always use premium but I'm not sure it matters so much with the efi

Thanks Opa. After blowing out the tube all is normal. Had a complete check up and leg oil done at the same time. Cheap fix

I somehow managed to get a pine needle stuck in my outboards " pee hole", I never thought of an insect putting it in there!
