I was on the lake(calaveras).And was about to do battle downrigging,because that is what it is like in red fish season.I noticed no peeing,turned around to the dock.It turned out the pee hole was clogged.I read on this forum ,to try carefully to poke clear the pee hole opening.It worked,It looked like the hole was getting smaller by calcium,hard water.My question is,is there any thing we can buy,fill up a barrel and rid the system of this monster.

Sounds like a medical emergency.

Yes but cause of this forum I was able to fish another day.

Always have an ordinary paper clip in your boat. It is about the only thing that I know that is small enough but strong enough to clear the pee hole pot.

It will still cool the engine if the water pump is working, a clogged hole just means you can't verify the pump is working.

I use weed eater line to clear the tattle tale line. The obstructions always seem to be close to the opening.

You might also want to check your thermostats occassionally. They tend to accumulate corrosion that can restrict water flow. Just clean them and the housing and reinstall. Don't damage the special gasket.

Mine pretty much quit. And it wasnt a clog. Im installing a new impeller. Better safe than sorry, If yours is old.. Change it.

A lot cheaper than a new motor.

if its calcium, a tiny drill bit rolled between your fingers usually does the trick. just dont push too hard or too deep as you might poke through the hose

I keep a copper wire in the boat for mud ,hydrilla etc.

i had an older evinrude that had a screen on it, i removed the screen and never had another problem with it again

My motor has a tiny hole that if left sitting for a period of time gets clogged.
It's no big deal as I have a piece of wire that I always keep hanging on the motor mount so that if I'm at the launch or out on the water and the stream starts to slow or clog I poke at it a little and it opens right up.
Like mentioned, it's more of an indicator to let you know the pump is working. If after you clear the opening and the stream is weak, or you barely get a trickle, you had best replace the pump before your next trip.
It should be a nice strong stream once it's cleared.

I've used a zip tie before too. Glad you got it fixed, its never a good feeling when you notice it not peeing.

My boat recently did the same and now my overheating light and buzzer sounds...water coming out the pee hole is cold and engine is not hot...any suggestions?
