Re: water pumps
I am having an issue with the water pump. I know I am not moving water. What I am not sure of is the water pump the only pump or is there one in the out drive.
From your earlier posts, sounds like you got a good deal on this boat, but sounds like it needs a bit of work. With minimal (or no) knowledge of the operating history of the boat and the outdrive, you need to get in tune with all the information you can in the stickies at the top of this forum ("adults only", etc) packed with good info for you. At a minimum, on a boat such as this, as far as the outdrive is concerned, you need to drain the drive oil, pull the drive off the boat, check the u-joints, bellows, etc. replace the water pump (impeller and housing), do a good pressure test for seal leaks. Then, maybe it will be good to splash. How is the motor?
Plus.... it makes it much easier to help you if we know the serial numbers of the outdrive and the engine. Lots of folks put that info in their signature block (I just havent gotten around to it...I'm such a procrastinator!!:lol
Best of luck!
