no water from the tell tale after 10 mins of running. Thermostat ?

Is engine overheating?
If overheating start by replacing water pump in Lower Unit.
If not then follow Tell-Tail hose up to connection and remove at that point.
Run engine and look for water flow.
Many times I have found Tell-Tail clogged by Dirt Dobber's Mud.
