hole.

IMPORTANT: If no water is coming out of the water pump indicator hole, stop engine and check cooling water
intake for obstruction. No obstruction may indicate a water pump failure or blockage in the cooling system.
These conditions will cause the engine to overheat. Have the outboard checked by your dealer. Operating the
engine while overheated will cause serious engine damage.
