Low water pick up

I remember a post a while back where we discussed this. I fish the river and occasionally run through a bit of sand. always remember to back flush the motor and lower according to the manual instructions. Im not sure if youve picked of wood debris again but as long as you are catching fish in the same are, it would be hard not to continue to go there. or a canoe. you could always fish from a canoe

I,ve had wood in my stats once. Poppit has always been fine. Ive had grass seeds and very small debris get in mine causing it to not warm up. So small that when I pulled the stats, they appeared closed and clean. Put them in a cup of hot water and all kinds of small stuff fell out. After that, engine warmed up as it should. Its happened to me several times but only in the winter. With warmer water in the summer, I think the stats open enough so the small stuff passes through

I pulled mine and it is a small plastic piece that I used a little compressed air to make sure nothing impedes flow.Im surprised that the temp doesnt climb if you are noticing this type of debris.Cant get hot when they are stuck open
