[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 332563, member: 983"] My Yamaha dealer when asked about this told me to run them for a few seconds when full down to try to pull that last bit out. I questioned them on the water pump and they said a short amount of time like that is not a big deal (less than 10 seconds) as there is still residual water lubricating the parts. Right or wrong? I don't know, but that is what they told me. It's hasn't changed the freeze up though. And this isn't just the Yamaha slow to pee thing. That is normal, this isn't. I can literally idle for 15 minutes with no water coming out. Usually by then the flow starts and off I can go. It's hard to build temp at idle in sub 40 degree water I guess. I have had many people say run it normal (full speed) and it will clear out quicker, but I really don't like the thought of issues away from the dock in cold temps. So I wait. [/QUOTE]
