??? only possible if you have a very substanial blockage before the water
jacket (starboard side if direct drive)
if the engine is spinning and the raw water open...this baby is pumping
water and it must be going somewhere.
if the exhaust is completely clogged as you stated, chances are the water is
entering the manifold into the engine.
your engine your boat......just my opinion.....good luck.

make sure you have not pumped water into the engine!
if you do......you will need to drain the crank. refill with oil, run and
drain again (probably more than once.

the exhaust belongs in the garage container if it is clogged as you say.
if the exhaust is clogged..the water that is being pumping.........is
going
somewhere.

Thanks but no water is going into the exhaust. That's the problem.
