Hi guys,i just bought a 2005 regal 2250 with a 5.7 mag mpi. When i was with the po we cranked up the engine with muffs on but no water was coming out, this was the engines first crank since being winterized. We took one hose off filled it up and after it was fine. Next day i have the boat at my place and after changing the oil i fire it up again and 10 15 secs still no water. Muffs were on fine. Should i wait longer for the water to start running out. Anyways i later that day put the boat in the water and was concerned that it might not be sucking up water but since its in water i cant see it. temp rose to 175,dropped and later on it that day it never went higher than 135 or so.
This normal or whats going on here?
Tks for the help

Bet you are due for a new impeller. How old is the one in there?

Just a guess here, but I would bet this is what the previous owner said before you bought the boat, and you didn't take a test run before you bought it.

Am I close?

We took the boat for test of course, temp never got high but then again we didnt test it for hours,20-25 mins.
