I had a Merc, that did that all he time! I hated it, I ended putting a longer hose and took the plastic piece off and threw it away, never happened again.
Also have heard of others that drilled the hole a bit bigger in them.

now that i know what to look for i will make it a point to clean the nozzel more often , the motor is a 115 4stroke yamaha and its only 2 years old and is flushed every trip , i never would have thought that gunk/salt would build up that fast , i know you need to change the impeala at certian intervals but not sure how often

I changed mine every other year, but it is a much older Yamaha. Guys that leave the boats in the water all season should be doing it every year!
