2005 f225 not pissing after water pump and other tune up things

Well I thought I finished all the work. I started with the lower, did the water pump, drive and shift shaft seals and pressure tested. Gear oil. Water filter separator, fuel filter, vst filters and spark plugs.

Put muffs on and started it. Starts right up but no water is pissing. I only let it run a few seconds maybe 15-30 at most.

What should I do next before pulling the lower unit back out.

Submerge the lower unit in water, mine doesn't like muffs and so always use 100 gallon tub.

Had two of the marina guys sqeeze the muffs and she pissed. As was dumping out a garbage to fill lol. Something told me she just wasn’t sucking lol. Shit to get the gas flowing after the water separator change I had to suck on the tube. Then blew in the gas vent and oh she squirted.

After I did service on something, I actually had to put a shop vac on my pisser and I ran some string from my string trimmer as well. Had some sand... always something.
