[QUOTE="jethro, post: 453731, member: 12381"] This is why marinas have big test tanks, otherwise it would be way easier to use muffs all the time. But like Dale said, especially with 2 strokes the exhaust back pressure is a big part in how it runs, and increasingly so as the RPMs climb. As far as making the tell tale more visible, I know some guys run something that shoots it straight up? Don't know if they are only for high HP motors or what, but that seems like a good idea. Personally I just make sure it's working when I start an expedition for the day. If you change the pumps out regularly and don't drag the skeg through sand or muck too often then it's usually a rare occurrence for a water pump to fail at random times. It would usually fail the first time you start for the day so I just make sure it works on start up. [/QUOTE]
