[QUOTE="Henry Hefner, post: 144770, member: 984"] I am not an expert, but since no one else is jumping up.... There should be a pee hole that the "hot" water comes out of after it cools the motor. My Mariner has it located just under the motor on the back. Locate it and as soon as the motor starts, see that it is squirting good. If not, shut 'er down till you put in a new impeller. Impellers aren't expensive, I would replace it soon just because you don't know how old this one is, and you wouldn't want it going out on a fishing trip... Oh, don't use ether to start it, you need lubrication through the fuel and starting fluid washes oil away. If you can't get it started with fresh fuel, you may need to pull the carb. EDIT: I just saw your question about the oil. I do believe that you will find that there is no oil fill to check, and this motor requires oil mixed in the gas!! [/QUOTE]
