Absolutely correct. The pisser pisses regardless of the Thermostats.
I'm betting a clogged tube (Billy Nolan and I both had that problem a few years ago when we were crawling into the shallows and s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g up sand, mud and seaweed) or the impeller is shot. I change my impeller every year and the thermostat every other year.

No boat, back in the suds.
