    Is there a way to tell if the impeller is working?

    I'm doing much less than that with the water dispersement. I feel that It's definitely an impeller issue, no doubt.

    Is there a way to tell if the impeller is working?

    I'm removing the lower part of the outdrive, leaving the upper in tact. Just drained the gear oil. I think I may have put the impeller in wrong, or maybe the F...g key fell out of the slot,,, who knows, I'm really unsure, needless it's worth to inspect it. The top riser elbow got real real hot...

    Is there a way to tell if the impeller is working?

    I pulled the main outdrive hose while it was started and some water was coming out with the muffs but not a lot.

    Is there a way to tell if the impeller is working?

    I replaced my impeller a month ago, I just put the outdrive on today and noticed I wasn't getting any good water flow coming out of exhaust. I think I may have put it in incorrectly, I'm unsure. Qiestion- Is there a way to tell if the impeller is working by maybe unhooking a hose coming from the...

    I noticed I had milky oil when I checked dipstick. Last thing I did was clean the riser and replaced gasket. It never overheated. Ughhh

    I drained the oil, it was all milky. I ran it with new oil, so far so good.

    The plugs, the gasket and the riser look fine. Should I drain the new oil, and then add new oil again, so it will be changed twice. It's still a lil milky... Or what's the procedure when you have water in the crankcase. How doe you get it all out?

    I noticed I had milky oil when I checked dipstick. Last thing I did was clean the riser and replaced gasket. It never overheated. Ughhh

    Ughh, when I went to check the oil in the dipstick just now, it was milky. The last thing I did was clean the riser chambers and I changed the riser gasket. I'm going to dump the oil now. Any suggestions on what I should check, the plugs etc? It runs fine but the oil is milky. The engine has...

    Thanks the carb was really gunked up and rusted, the boat was sitting in a driveway for 12 years unused. It's running amazing since the carb rebuild a few months ago as it was resurrected from its grave. It idles nice. I'm stoked, and all for an $11 kit and some good DIY YouTube videos to guide...

    Starboard riser running hot

    Yeah I'd put it in the water and run it too. Maybe the pressure from the lake/ocean will be a better outcome. You won't know till u try it.

    Engine making new sound? Can I still use it?

    Do you have any updates on this issue? I'm interested to know what it was.

    Starboard riser running hot

    Deleted previous message. Just read that you removed your riser and checked it. They do get clogged up w rust. I know mine was really bad. I wonder if you might have a bad/faulty water pump, not impeller, but the water pump itself. There could be a water flow restriction in the system somewhere too.

    What is Normal RPMs running In Neutral and out of water with ears?

    Does anyone know the normal RPMs for a Mercruiser 140hp Alpha One Gen One running on land with rabbit ears. I'm running at 975 and it seems to be running really nice. Is that too high?

    Carburetor question

    I rebuilt my carb a few months ago, my first attempt ever. I couldn't get the dang plunger out. So I cleaned and oiled it, as best that I could, and left it in. No issues as of yet. Some before and after pics.
