You will burn your motor if it is not cooled by water. If your muffs dont work you can put it in a water bucket.

Cut that motor off! Water comes out the tail take before you even turn your motor on. Your impeller is bad or your muffs aren't on correctly. That motor cost more than that boat, don't burn it up. It doesn't take long.

Thanks for the input! Engine Water pump moves the water through the tell-tail.

[@KingfishStevens-di9ji]

I think if it's not getting water shut it off

[@theMainetimberframer]

It had to pump water through the engine - it’s all good!
I later made the maiden voyage and no complaints!

Better change impeller .
Horrible water flow out telltale
