[Rhodes22-list] Yamaha 9.9 water cooling

[Michael Meltzer]

btw, with the thermostat out, start the motor, it will blow out the lower pasages and and give a read on the water pump, should be 
flowing pettry good, just keep it under 30 second to a minute(and a cold start motor), no cooling water in the motor. Got that tick 
from the service guy.
