Hi all looking for a few ideas / fixes
Have not had the boat in the water for about 6 month (big reno at my place) when i last cleaned it down i did a normal flush etc to be honest i didn't expect it to be so long between trips.
Got it out today to prepare to head out tomorrow, change the gear oil and throught i'd give it a quick run with ear muffs to make sure i started up fine rather than stuff around on the ramp etc etc.
Kicked over pretty much straight way, but the water flow was only a fine spray. Stopped the engine removed the spray cap from the hose and clear a bit of white / clear buildup, ran the engine again ran solid of a moment then stopped. went to clear it again but nothing to clear. it would seem i have salt / cal buildup.
Have tried it in a deep tub as well as muffs, only for a short moment 10-20 sec as i don't want to risk a over heat.
Any suggestions ? before i go down the put a new pump in option / loss the day on the water i was hoping to have this week
it's a yamaha 90 2 stroke
