(Sea Water Cooled)
Drat, dang-it and dag nabit! My new "elbows" came in last night and I installed them this yesterday. Still no water coming out the exhaust at boats aft. Pulled off the thermostat housing and no water in the block. As mentioned, in earlier post, I have no "guts" in the thermostat and it's just free flow. Guess I'm going to have to back flush the all the hoses thru the block and on out. Probably going to have to remove the water pump and check it out as well. I replaced the pump about four years ago with a marine pump but don't think it was designed for sea water! The pump impeller in the outdrive is also about 3 years old and because it's been sitting two years has probably quit working. Today I guess I'll pull the lower and put a kit in when it arrives from Amazon. Anyone got anymore advice for finding the my "no water thru the block?" At least the mortor starts up and runs well.
