Well so far ive used two different kinds of ear muffs and I cant get them to seal well enough for the motor to start peeing. I have the muffs attached, water on, and start the motor and nothing coming out of the pisser. I don't know what people use but ive got to figure out something.

sounds like a bad impeller or clogged line.

had a 75 merc that the plastic fitting on the pisser would get clogged alot.

Also if the pisser is big enough dirt daubers will clog them.

The impeller is fine but the way the lower unit is made its hard to find a pair of muffs that will fit. If you squeeze them together and have someone start the engine it will piss.

I have a df250. The round earmuffs will not work. Buy a set that is rectangular and it will work

You can get dual inlet muffs. It has pressure on both sides. That's what I used in my 250. And it also had the square muffs

Ok I did try the round and rectangular muffs but they both had the side hose attachment. I guess you guys mean the dual inlet muffs the ones that feed from the end? That's the only other type I see like below.

You could get a barrel cut it so just the lower unit sits in it.

After a little brainstorming, I came up with this which is a temp solution lol. I still need to find a pair of muffs that actually seal. I cranked her up yesterday and she was pissing like crazy!
