Charlies Outboard in Alvarado would be my choice. They serviced my boat for years and are certified on Mercury service. Top notch and have been around for many years

You might need to flush the motor. Easy to do. Might have sand clogging up your water passages. Look up how to videos on you tube, easy to do with a water hose.

I showed my son how to replace the impeller on my 225 Opti last weekend. It took about 30 minutes and he couldn't believe how easy it was. Also water will come out the pee hole without the thermostats being open.

Unfortunately even a "simple" water pump job has several small steps that can easily be done in error. If you can afford it, a good shop won't charge you much. We charge 1 hour ($85) plus the cost of the impeller, or the whole kit if the housing hasn't been changed in a while. Some impellers are as cheap as 15 dollars, while the kits for the optimax with the stainless housing are around 90. With that said, an average water pump job runs 125-150 bucks when it's all said and done. $39.99 extra to do the gear oil while we're there.

Also, call Ronnie @ 817-366-3403 at west bay marina on eagle mountain, I imagine he'll be able to change it a lot quicker.

Also water will come out the pee hole without the thermostats being open. I think the OP ran it on the lake and did not notice a pee stream. I seem to recall on my Black Max that unless I opened up the throttle somewhat that I did not get much out the pee hole on the muffs.
