    2003 Glastron VP 5.0 GL Overheat issue

    Just got back from a 10 mile offshore trip and she held rock steady 165* even in the soup temps of the Gulf right now. Thank you again guys I really appreciated the help. The new gaskets with copper spray and a second torque after a heat up and cool down held perfect not 1 drop leaking between...

    2003 Glastron VP 5.0 GL Overheat issue

    The pump housing was to blame on this one. I have never run the engine without a good water supply. The housing on that pump (not sure whether its a bronze casting or how they made it) was made was faulty. The housing was made such that it tore chunks off of the impeller. Lack of funds to...

    2003 Glastron VP 5.0 GL Overheat issue

    Thanks Lou was thinking that would have been a smart thing to do. Looks like after all the old gasket is off it seems to look level but I'll get a straight edge and feeler gauge out to make sure before reinstalling. Problem I have now is I can't find just replacement bolts anywhere. I know...

    2003 Glastron VP 5.0 GL Overheat issue

    Got it with the torch and vice grips just have to source new bolts and chase the threads and use anti seize which apparently was left out last time the po had them off if ever. Thanks

    2003 Glastron VP 5.0 GL Overheat issue

    They dont look new but The Anna Capri and Stamas I owned was worse. I think I can get to the end of the season with this... if Only 1BOLT didn't snap. I still have about 1/4" or little less of threads extending out from the manifold. It was drenched with PB Blaster overnight but this one...

    Wish I knew that about the bellows... those were changed at the start of this season I used Sierra though for those hopefully that is decent.

    2003 Glastron VP 5.0 GL Overheat issue

    Thanks Don, yes I replaced both the seal and that bearing. That bearing was hard to get out I actually used a pilot bearing puller and had to use my press to push the puller from the opposite side of the housing... but it was done and she seems happy... will swap the mani to riser gaskets today...

    2003 Glastron VP 5.0 GL Overheat issue

    Confirmed. Before I switched back to my VP rebuilt pump 15 mins on the hose 175* and climbing now 1 hour 160* and the manifolds both at around 108* at the risers and manifold. I will be swapping the gaskets to the risers and using the new procedures but thankfully I have some time to budget...

    2003 Glastron VP 5.0 GL Overheat issue

    If you look at the knock off housing that vendor sold you can see the inlets are sharp. Compared to the VP housing which is rounded. You can see that a 30hr impeller in that housing was more chewed up than the original VP impeller. The VP Impeller also has differences as far as the center...

    2003 Glastron VP 5.0 GL Overheat issue

    Odd thing is that visually it looks ok was expecting to see pieces of the impeller. There are some small nicks at the end of the impeller and after disassembly of both the VP seems to have a gasket seal and the Amazon one uses an O-Ring... but oddly enough the amazon one looks like it should...

    Here's that piece of garbage. Seller Anrain and it is no longer available. Take heed of the photo... chances are this snake is selling as another seller.

    2003 Glastron VP 5.0 GL Overheat issue

    What a shame.... 30 Hrs on that Amazon Raw Water Pump and it is 100% junk... not pumping AT ALL... I found the original VP pump that I swapped from and it feels like it's in better condition after years of use than this horrible thing. I will disassemble and post pics soon. Made the...

    2003 Glastron VP 5.0 GL Overheat issue

    Thanks Lou I found this on another site The service bulletin indicates: Change to Procedure: Before installing a riser gasket, coat the mating surfaces of both the manifold and the riser with a copper-based, heat resistant gasket compound. Examples: Permatex Copper Spray-a-Gasket® (80697) K&W...

    2003 Glastron VP 5.0 GL Overheat issue

    Thanks... I did that acetone test with the Anna Capri and that was what clued me in to needing a replacement. Been looking for someone that has the Barr manifolds and risers for my engine local to Tampa. Have a tow scheduled for tomorrow and will have her back in my driveway tomorrow night. I...

    2003 Glastron VP 5.0 GL Overheat issue

    If these thunderstorms quit for a while I am going to get sea tow to take me dock to dock from the marina to my boat ramp so I can put it on the trailer and take it to my driveway where I have access to all my tools. I see what you see Lou so I will pull the risers off and take pics... and no...

    2003 Glastron VP 5.0 GL Overheat issue

    I did replace the entire raw water pump and impeller at the very start before I put her in and I did inspect the cooling line that I had to remove when I did the gimbal bearing and it was clear and in good shape when reinstalled. I also checked it yesterday with the drive tilted up. I used to...

    2003 Glastron VP 5.0 GL Overheat issue

    I purchased late last year and before my first use I replaced the bellows and gimble bearing, lower unit lube, oil and filter, plugs and dizzy and the entire raw water pump including impeller and housing. Did about 30 hours without a hitch temp always below 170. Just before the last trip out at...

    2003 Glastron VP 5.0 GL Overheat issue

    Sorry I forgot to mention that I did do the raw water pump at the start of the season. I was thinking that with me having replaced the raw water pump and also with it overheating while using the volvo pentas feed line (blue capped hose at the engine) with direct hose water pressure it would be...

    2003 Glastron VP 5.0 GL Overheat issue

    She got hot after a short run 180* right at the dock on the way back in so I shut her down right away. Never got hot before and I got her at the end of last year and put about 30 hours on her since. I just replaced the T-Stat and that didn't fix her. Even on the hose after about 10 mins she...
