Hello group, I just bought an 89 bayliner with a force 85 and a 5hp kicker. The hull is in great shape, the interior is ok. Kicker runs great, engine runs good but isn't cooling. I just dropped the gear box and discovered the impeller had disintegrated, and I'm sure there are pieces that were sucked up. The intake tube is clear. I bought a new impeller and will be installing it soon. My question, is there a way to reverse flush the engine?? Any chance once I put the new impeller in and run it it'll clear out any bits that got sucked up? I only paid 700 for the boat and don't want to dump a bunch more into this engine. Thank for any help
