unhbass37 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 I just bought a 1997 Bass Tracker with a 40hp Mercury force and was wondering if it is normal for it to pee out like a spitting? I was told by the owner that it has always done this and has never overheated. I did take it for a ride and it did not overheat. Water is coming out, But not like my 150 HP evinrude. Quote
Bass Tracker Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Yes it will only sprinkle out. I have a 99 Bass Tracker with a 40hp mercury force motor, and it has always only sprinkled water out the back since it was new. I modified my last year, by filling the back port with silicone, and removed the plug on top the block , fitting it with a 90 degree elbow fitting. I then connected a lenght of hose to it, and drilled a hole in the back right corner of the motor cowl to run the hose through, and securing it with a zip tie. Now my motor pees a stream out the hose like a regular Mercury motor. Quote
unhbass37 Posted May 19, 2009 Author Posted May 19, 2009 Why did you modify it? I'm just wondering because I may do that. Quote
