Hi guys - newbie question I'm afraid - I tried the mobo forum with this first, but no answer. I've acquired a Mariner 75 with a boat. Started easily but cooling water was only dribbling out of vent below cowling. Stopped engine, took off cover, detached pipe, restarted engine - water pumped out of pipe. Blew down pipe - bubbles from around prop. Reconnected everything and re-started engine - just a dribble. Put engine into gear - jet of water from vent. Now seems to be fine - what caused the dribble and did I fix it and if so how? Is there something else I should do to make sure everythings Ok?
