Unblocked

As well as loads of wind yesterday we found there was no cooling water flow on the outboard when we ran it in the snot tub.
Had the power head off the leg today and the water ways were clogged with salt.
Cleaned them out, made a new gasket and boxed it up - ran the engine - no flow.
This time took the bottom of the leg off, connected the garden hose to the water pump outlet pipe and blew a great gob of grot out of the block. All now working as it should.
Only myself to blame, obviously never flushed the engine after the last trip of the year.
