First thing is to check the tell tale hoses and the tee inside for a mud dobber or some kind of blockage. An impeller is cheap insurance, as well as vernotherms and diaphrams for the T-stats. Idle must be set in the water with the boat sitting in the water at resting water height. It should be roughly 600-750 in gear. Idle out of the water could be anywhere from 1000-2300 from what I have seen of them, no 2 are alike.

Default Check the outlet, too

Hey Craigan,
I know it's simple, but remember to just stick a wire up the exit tube. It's the first, simplest thing to do. Mine was trickling once just after splash in June, and that did the trick. Thing ran like a dream all summer. Sometimes it was a bad dream...
