I have a Volvo Penta 4.3 I/O 91' on a Well-Craft 186 Eclipse. 2 issues
1. I just replaced the water pump/housing/impeller/thermostat last year. It ran fine after that. This year I took it out and there is an awful squeaking when the engine is rev'ed or a load is put on the engine (ie. turning the steering wheel, it is PS). It sounds like the squeaking is from the impeller or PS pump, but can not tell for sure. I am pulling water up and have no issues with temp.
2. Engine is running fine at idle and top speed. It takes a long time to get off the plane though. I have new props, new gas, and spark plugs replaced last year. after about 30 minutes of cruising at various speeds, I went to top speed and I got a couple misses. I returned to port to diagnose.
Any help would be appreciated.
