My 1989 8hp Evinrude outboard telltale water drops off when you rev the motor up?
Have cleared the telltale line back to the cooling jacket – the motor starts and idles well – there is plenty of water flow at low idle but when you rev the motor up the water flow drops right off and some exhaust fumes come out the telltale – when you back the revs off the water flow returns – could it be the impellor or head gasket gone, letting the exhaust fumes back into the cooling jacket?
It is very possible that the impeller could pump ok at idle, but not pump enough at WOT. Sometimes the hub will spin inside the impeller just like they can in a prop. Before you tear into your engine try changing the water pump as a kit. New housing, wear plate, impeller, and gaskets. If that doesn't fix it try removing the thermostat, and run the engine momentarily with the t-stat cover off to verify water flow to the engine. That will tell you whether you need to go low or go high in your search.

The Great Seattle Boat Show Update
Hi gang, Rick Ostler here from North American Waterway bringing you Bayliner Boats along with news and views from the boating industry. Here is a update for the Great Seattle Boat Show.
The Great Seattle Boat Show is getting some great last minute traction as it heads towards its opening day next Friday, January 23rd! George Harris, of the Northwest Marine Trade Association (NMTA), tells me that “In general I would say our members, exhibitors and public were delaying spending decisions. Now we’ve had significantly more last minute activity of all types than usual. This is also the case with the Northwest Yacht Brokers Association (NYBA). The indoor portion of the boat show is full with a waiting list.”
The Kansas City show scaled back its footprint. Closer to home, the Everett Boat Show, scheduled for early March, has been suspended, perhaps to later this year.
