@help water not coming out of port engine rear pee hole

[Scott]

I'm at the lake. Water is coming out of 3 of the 4 holes. The rear most hole has no water coming out of it on my 2008 232 Limited. Is this normal? Thanks for the help.

You probably have some insect debri lodged in there. If you were home I would suggest using a weed eater string to clean it out. Since you are on the water, just have fun.

If the cooling flow was actually compromised you would see an overheat light on the dash.

It happen to me a few weeks ago on the water as well. I took a tie wrap and shoved it on from the outside and it was obvious it was clogged right near the exit point. I couldn't clear it, but by getting under the seat I was able to loosen up a hose clamp and pull the rubber hose off. I quickly saw a bunch of grass and debris (similar to a birds nest) and using some needle nose and other tools I had I got it clear. I have since put weed eater string on the boat. Good luck.

Thanks for the replies guys. I did put a piece of wire about 14 inches in before it stopped. I did this multiple times. No overheat light so far. I will see what happens tomorrow. Thanks again.

if you've not seen this yet this video from the FAQ is a great to show how the cooling water flows and it was done by one of our members!

One set of holes is for the exhaust flow and the other is for the thermostat flow, I would tell you which one but it's probably better to stick you head under your rear starboard seat and look up at the connections at the hull and follow the hose to it connection at the engine, You can easily disconnect it there and try to blow through it to see if the blockage is in the hose,
