I have a SHERWOOD g15 in my 1978 Chris craft.
I pulled the inlet hose off and fired the boat up. When dumping water into a funnel that I have in the hose.It starts bubbling back out instead of taking it in.
I took the pump off and it seems there is no in and out on the pump.
Is it possible...
I have a few questions while I'm overhauling my boat
When I bought the boat I noticed that there was a second deck on top of the original which made me believe that the original deck got soft and they did a quick cover up
1. The foam is wet I was wondering if this was okay and what it dry out...
Hey folks I'm looking to repaint my 20' sea craft to and bottom. I've had to do some fiberglass patching and remove all paint etc. I was wondering if marine topside paint is a GEL coat. I'm trying to do this on somewhat of a budget. Is it primitive that I use a gel coat or does the rustoleum...
Ok I think I have this narrowed down. It's a 1978 chris craft cruiser that's overheating. I unhooked the mainline to the sheerwood pump leaving only the water inlet hose to the bottom of the sheerwood. I started the boat leaving run for a very short time but no water pumped out of the pump...

What's the copper tube that the water pump connects to? Mine was a sea boat and it seems the copper pipe was deteriorated and must of the water pumped comes it the lower end. Can I use a piece of 1/2 inch copper tubing for water lines to replace it? Is it in a boot it a flange?

I took pictures of everything I need help with and the parts so you can see them.
The boat started overheating all the sudden. It sat for about a year or so before I bought it. In putting it in the water the first time it got hot when trolling for long periods of time. It now gets hot almost...
I have no idea why it's overheating. I changed the impeller in the pump. It's a sheerwood g30. Replaced it with the correct impeller. It never did overheat until it just started to all the sudden. I just can't seem to figure it out. The serial number on the penta drive is almost gone and I can't...
