Hello to all. My problem is my motor is not spitting out water from the rear holes (some call it Peeing). I used ear-muffs with good pressure but no water comes out. Although, when i use the flush holes on the engine water does come out but the flow is weak. Let me know if anyone has a clue of what to do to get the water flowing again?

May be simple fix
This is either really simple or not. The motor sucks in water at the lower unit and spits it out at the pee hole. Start at the top. The hole may be plugged with crud. Use a light guage wire. The wire in a decent bread twist-tie will work. Strip off the paper part and push the wire into the hole and rumage it around. If the wire bends like crazy upon entry you know you have found your problem. Switch to something heavier and push it in and out many times over. Put on the muffs, turn on the water and start the motor. If water is coming out you have made progress and should continue to reem it out with the wire until it flows smoothly.
If no water - shut off the motor immediately. If you think you did a good job of cleaning out the pee hole, look at the lower end. There aren't many places down there that let in water do go after them with a scrub brush if stuff is apparent and with your wire if not.
Generally these 2 steps set you free. If not, could be a bad pump. -
