Hi. I'm looking at buying a Bayliner with a AQ125. The seller says that there is a problem with the water pump. Here is what he stated in the ad,
*Tune-up performed in July 2014
*Replaced water pump, impeller kit, blower motor
*Motor and relays replaced on trim
Needs additional work due to leak from water pump
When I asked for more info on the problems with the water pump, this was his reply,
When I took it in to be winterized they said there was a leak near the water pump. So when the boat is running the water that is going through the motor and that should be going out the back of the boat is leaking into the boat instead. Not all of it of course but it's enough to be a problem. The last time I used it in September I did notice it took much longer to drain when I pulled the plug out. It usually takes a few seconds to get out any water that may have accumulated from normal use but that day I think I was waiting about 5 minutes for it to drain.
So I hope this info isn't being too vague, but I'm wondering if anybody think this could be a simple gasket replacement, or something bigger. The price of the boat is pretty low that I may take a chance on it. Thanks.
