DF175 No water from Pee Hole

[Harper]

Do you think there's a crack in the water pump housing? I've read others having similar issues on their DF motor.

Don't really know, brother. Do you have any means of monitoring actual water temp, such as the SMIS gauges? I flush mine for 10-15 minutes after it levels off at 150°, knowing that the thermostat has opened when the temp reaches that level. I'm reading my engine functions on my Garmin chartplotter via the NMEA 2000 network.
