I pulled the water tube out of the exhaust housing when I removed the lower unit. I’m confident that it the tube was correctly inserted into the grommet when I removed it based upon the end of the tube being shiny. There are no obvious signs of the motor having overheated.
You are correct about my having recently purchased the motor. This was the 1st time I’ve started it.
Tomorrow, if possible, I am going to attach the garden hose to the water tube (the lower unit is currently off while I wait for the pump I ordered this evening to arrive) and turn on the faucet. I will see if the water will make its way out the overboard indicator. I’ll know there’s no blockages if it does.
I’ll report back after I’ve completed this test.
I appreciate your input.
