Kacee,, mine did/does the same thing,, I think it was the muffs not having a good seal around the intakes,, took it up to the ramp and it was pissing like no tomorrow,, Now I did replace my water pump and poppet valve. (I replace my pump every 3 years for my piece of mind)

That is normal if you don't get a complete seal around the suction cups. You should see it pee without the motor running & after the water makes it all the way through the water ports. May take a few seconds to start. Some motors make it difficult to get that seal, in those cases where you can't get a complete seal then make sure that the spigot that you are getting the water from is all the way open.

My Mercury 225 will only start when I actually engage the propeller.

Soretoe, what I was trying to say is my mercury will only pee with the garden hose attachment when I engage the propeller. Did not mean that the only way it will start is with shifter engaged, sorry if I was not clear.

I put my hand over the intakes on the lower unit cone and that helps it get the peein started.

Was on Allatoona a few days ago and noticed my water presure had dropped while running down the lake. Looked back and motor wasn't peeing. Loaded boat and went home and looking for a mechanic to change my water pump. Went outside and took the motor cover off and found water in the bottom of motor. Then found a small rubber hose not connected to a plastic valve. Connected it back together and hooked up hose and it started peeing. Took to lake and water pressure is back to normal. Sometimes you get lucky.
