Glad you get the pressure issue resolved. As Walt said, now it's time you enjoy it... go fishing.

Re: Mercury water pressure low
I had same thing on my Mariner 60 . The water flow was getting weak , and the impellor was just replaced last year.
I saw a video on You tube, and a guy said to try cleaning the end of the line and fitting , right where it exits the motor with a straightened out paperclip. I tried it while engine was running ,and the flow almost doubled, as there may have been debris in the end of line. Also suggests if this does not work , remove and clean the water hose that comes off the cylinder to exit fitting
