Ok I think I have this narrowed down. It's a 1978 chris craft cruiser that's overheating. I unhooked the mainline to the sheerwood pump leaving only the water inlet hose to the bottom of the sheerwood. I started the boat leaving run for a very short time but no water pumped out of the pump.
What I've done and checked
1. New impeller put in. But one brand new one up already.
2. The inlet hose is fine no tears or cracks.
3. All hose clamps are tight
4. Replaced the thermostat "old one came apart
Initial problem
But started to overheat slightly then overheated unless not underway and at high rpm.
Picture inside of motor compartment shows a missing hose to rwp inlet. I just removed this hose. It was connected prior to
Questions
Does entire cooling system need connected for the suction of the water or should it pump with only lines from outdrive to raw water pump inlet. Should it pump out of the out of the rwp.
The bottom nine pictures are the newest pictures
Any help would be immensely appreciated
