Hello,
I have a question. I just had a mechanic come out to replace my bellows, pump rebuild, lower shift, trim senders and a bearing. That said, when he started tearing it down. He notice the the hoses were not installed and plugged. He looked at me and said after 30 years he's never seen this. He asked if the boat was in Salt, then I stated I had a closed cooling system and that it was in salt. He then said I did not need the pump. Doesnt that pump also cool the upper half of the lower unit? Do I need it?? I ran the boat last season a bit, and the previous owner ran it for who knows how long like that. Guess I am just a bit confused. Its and alpha one drive. Thanks for any input.
