I've been boating for a million years and by far the best thing that I've found for clearing out a plugged up pee hole for your outboard is a small piece of weed eater line. It is the perfect strength to clear out any blockage from trash getting sucked up in your outboard and will not damage the outboard or water line. Cut you a piece about 10 or 12 inches of line and store it in your boat or tackle box. Cheap and effective!!

My old Evinrude 40 the Mud Dobbers would go all the way up the line to the Elbow before the head.

No way to clear it but take the hose off, unscrew the Elbow and clean it out.

I also use string trimmer plastic line to clear a pee hole. Works great. Maybe that's what the plastic line was made for -- LOL

Thanks, I just cut some myself and put it by the motor.  I also have to remember to check it to make sure it is working when I am out running the motor!
There is nothing like sharing any moment outdoors with someone special!
