Here's The Full Story. I Have A 1999 Sportcraft 231 With A Volvo Penta 5.0 Gi. The Power Steering V-Belt Snapped In Half. I Bought A New Belt, And Began Replacing it. I Removed The Bracket That Goes Between The Impeller Intake And Outlet Hose. I Removed The Intake And Outlet Hoses, And All Of The Water Drained Out Of The Hoses. I Then Loosened The Power Steering Pump Bolts, And Slipped The New Belt On. I Then Pulled The Power Steering Pump Back, And Tightened The Bolts Back. I Then Reconnected The Hoses And The Bracket.
The Next Time I Took The Boat Out (With The Potential New Owner Of The Boat), The Motor Shut Off, After Moving At About 6Mph For 2 Minutes. The Temp Gauge Was At 200?F And There Was An Electrical Sound Coming From The Motor (Sounded Like The Outboard Trim Was Going Up Or Down). The Motor Took A Long Time To restar, And When It Did, It Ran At A Very Low Idle, Barely turning The Motor. The Motor Would OccasionalLy Jump To About 1800 Rpm, Then Sputter. It Would Only Stay Running For About 30 Seconds. Luckily The Tides Were In Our Favor, And They Carried Us Back To The Slip. The Motor Would Not Start When We Got Back.
Was I Supposed To Refill The Hoses With Water After They Drained? All Help Is Appreciated, I Would Like To Sell Asap!
