I am having cooling problems and need some advice on what to check.
I have a 84 OMC 120hp with a stringer out drive. I am not getting any water flow to the engine with the water muffs on. Basically water discharges out the small side holes in the lower section of the out drive but never makes it up to the engine. I am thinking the water pump is bad?
The boat is new to me, so I will replace the water pump assembly regardless. (parts on their way)
In my opinion, the water pressure with the muffs on should have still pushed water through the engine... can anyone confirm this?
I pulled the engine hoses off to check for the presence of water.
All of the hoses were found to be completely dry.
Any ideas on what else I should check?
Thanks for your time.
