Thanks found the prob ...intake hose off the lower unit that goes threw transom the clamp broke and hose worked itself off ...installed new clamp and back to normal.
I have 6 2in ID great lakes rod holders for a 2in OD mast .... fully adjustable never used in perfect shape .... satin aluminum finish ... 250.00 for all 6 ..obo
I have a 15hp 4stroke almost new condition...runs flawless ..with electric start and controls... pick up only point breeze area 1700 firm. Very little use!
I think that is what had happened... I took the impeller completely out last night and found one tab/fin ripped in half but still attached bairly...and one half ripped...it was new last year and greased it when I installed it ...is it normal for a aftermarket impeller to only last a year? And the housing was new also....
