Hi guys its been a long time but its cause ive started a new job so i was getting ready to take the boat out doing my prep list and everything was ok.
So i started her up on muffs (yes water was flowing and correctly placed) Ran for a while was checking over the engine when suddenly i noticed smoke coming from the external water pump, that pumps for the leg. So now im assuming that means water pump repair or replace but i KNOW nothing about the leg or this pump as the set up is a merc 140 + a VP 270 leg. what options do i have. Is there and impeller in the leg or what im confused and was hoping i could avoid any parts on the leg for a year or two. But i know thats not an option now.
Thanks here is all the info i have
1972 merc 140
???? Volvo 270-280? S/N is belived to be 2783419. B?
with Engine mounted water pump.
Thanks again
