[Aches n Pains]

Winterized my Yamaha F150 yesterday. Put her on ear muffs and started her up. Nothing came out the pee hole and eventually the overheat alarm went off.

Talked with the marina mechanic and he said that's a common problem for the bigger Yamahas - ear muffs don't work well. The impeller was new at the beginning of the season and I had the boat out last week with no problems - pee hole was working well. Pee hole is not clogged as I was able to flush her through the passive water connection and water poured out the hole.

Anybody else had problem with Yammies and ear muffs? Anybody have a particularly good ear muff that fits over the Yamaha intakes?

Thanks,
