Hi all

I have a Australian Whittley 2350 with a OMC 5.8l Petrol motor with a OMC cobra leg

the guy who sold it to me modified the water intake from the impellor feed with a T hose
attachment that could simply feed water into it and bypass the impeller feed

( ie to flush with fresh water while still moored at the jetty)

sounds great but i have just cooked an impellor doing so , could this be because there is no cool water running pas the impeller

PS engine water temp was fine while motor was running but impeller is now a molten mess

cheers Mike

Re: impellor overheated

If you were in the water.It shouldn't have cooked the impeller.How long did it run?
