Well my merc 35 hp 2 stroke wasnt peeing so I took the tube off and blew it out but now its still not peeing. Its smoking I think I fried something. Can anyone tell me what I fried and is it costly?
 
Pull lower unit and look at impeller, new ones are only like $30-50.
 
DON'T RUN IT! It's either a blocked pisser hole, water pump or it has a thermostat and it's not hot enough for it to piss. I'd guess water pump though without knowing anything about it.



 
And let me guess.. You sometimes start it or bump it without it being in the water?

X2!!!! Do not run the motor regardless of if its in or out of the water. Pull the lower unit and I'd bet the impeller is chewed up. Not costly at all and take about 20 minutes to fix. Just remember to pu a LIGHT coat of grease (vegetable oil works too) on everything when you put the new one just to keep it from overheating again before the water gets to it.
Next guess would be the thermostat.
 
YouTube is awesome tool. There super easy to do, the biggest deal is spinning the impeller in the right direction. Most are counter clockwise but there are motors that go clockwise. I-boats is an awesome resource aswell
 
Even if you put the impeller in so the fins are the wrong way as soon as you turn it over they will straighten out. It's a super easy fix
