Default Re: out board peeing prob?

The Poppit Valve is a very common issue with outboards. Like a thermostat, it regulates the water flow coming out the pisser to keep the engine at the proper running temps. It closes and restricts water if the engine is too cold or opens up when the engine gets hot. It could cause the issue you are having if it's clogged and could make your engine run hot as well....

A typical symptom of a bad Poppit Valve is the engine running hot at lower RPMs and fine at higher RPMS

I would check and clear the lines first as mentioned above and if that does not resolve your issue I would look at the Poppit Valve.
