[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 394065, member: 3278"] First off, don't be in too much of a hurry or your first trip may be the only trip for your new engine. The overboard indicator should show water pump flow almost immediately. It does NOT depend on a thermostat opening. If you have cleaned out the indicator line at both ends then you may have an issue with the pump. Before checking anything try your barrel one more time except this time make sure the water is at least 6" over the top of the parting line between the gearcase and the exhaust housing. Many folks simply do not have enough water in their barrels to prime the pump. It wants to be totally submerged. By running it like you have the pump may already be damaged but give it a try.
