ANY IDEAS? We took it out for the first time of the season and we were heating up and peeing very little or not at all. Can't remember
We tore it down to put in an impeller but we had to buy the whole water pump housing as ours was distorted and didn't look good. <br /><br />When we started it up on the muffs, we get no water peeing? Nada, nothing... I can feel air being pumped out the water discharge, but no water. Temp gauge started to come off of "C" so we got worried and stopped. Pulled it apart and rechecked everything. Still same results even if we goose the throttle. I had just remembered that where we put the boat in last it is very shallow and very silty. Maybe it clogged up, but we haven't found any silt or dirt in the lower end components?<br /><br />Also, in our manual it states we should check the shim clearance between the bearing in the lower unit and the pump housing. We didn't as this looks different than that explained in the 86 V6 manual we have. I figured this is a tad different as it was an all new engine in 88. <br /><br />Anyone have any suggs. Kinda worried our motor has other probs? Could the thermostats be stuck? But both of them and the old impeller wasn't shredding or anything so I can't believe it is plugged with something. Should we pull out the thermostats? <br /><br />Thanks in advance, we anxiously await your replies..<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Phil
