[QUOTE="Prowelder, post: 422092, member: 20426"] I'm having an issue with my motor. It's a 2000 honda 15hp. It ran perfectly last weekend in Lake gaston, but I tried it at my local fishing hole and the water was not flowing through the pee hole at top speed. I didn't realize until the motor slowed and started smoking. I let it sit and it started 1st pull and ran fine at low rpms with strong water flow. I gave it some gas and the pee stream stopped flowing. Tonight I took the lower unit apart and check the impeller. It is in perfect condition. I ran it in a bucket and the pee stream is strong even when I rev the engine it got stronger. The only thing I can think is that when the boat is planing somehow it is not sucking water in the intake. I'm confused because I ran it exactly the same here as I did at Lake Gaston. Same weight, gear same people. I'm wondering if maybe the water consistency is different. My local fishing hole is Dark Water Pretty Dirty. I have seen some outboard motors that have wings on the sides of the cavitation plate and I am wondering if maybe I need something like that? Please help Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
