Sand can clog the nipple. Poke at it with heavy mono.

salt can also

if you don't have heavy mono, then weed whacker string works also

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

the guys in my marina claim I am too anal but I flush my Yami with fresh water after every trip. I always use the hose connection and have never had a problem on the 115.
However, I did have the same problem as discussed on my 90 and the hole was clogged with salt. I used a very thin cable tie and cleaned it out.

No boat, back in the suds.

Amen to that,,,, same here. The thought of salt water sitting inside the engine for a day or two would drive me nuts.

Had a salt water cooled inboard years ago,,,, talk about rust and corrosion!
