Well guys, I got the boat and took the cowling off and disconnected the hoses from the pump and ran a weed eater line up and down the lines. Got it to where they were all clear and I could even blow air down through the tube and suck air back and forth through the intake. So I put it all back together and hooked the muffs up to it and turned the water on.
She started peeing a stream better than I do.
Thanks for all the advice and confidence y'all had that I could get it workin again.

Amen Jim. Things can be replaced, people can't.
The Lord is SO good to us.
You've sure got a nice rig now though.
How are you and Barbara doin? Ready for some more Striper fillets?
Miss goin out fishin with you. Hopefully we can get out again before I move away. The fishin should pick up later this month out at Sonoma too. Take care brother.

" Pees better than I do" is a very relative statement as some of us in our really golden years can't relate.
Glad it worked out for you.

Yeah, it worked out great. I just disconnected the hoses to the pump and ran that weed eater cord up and down the lines and then blew air through it and it cleared them. Has a great stream now.

Good job Steve. I figured as much since it didn't overheat when you were fishing. If I let mine sit for longer than a couple weeks I get little spider cocoons in the outlet fitting. Usually they blow out but sometimes they need help.


I carry a toothbrush on board to clean the intakes before shoving off.
