Hi,
Just bought a 2005 Four Winns 170 with a Volvo Penta 3.0L in it. Did a bit of maintenance : all oils, power steering etc....Changed the impeller (the other one was still good, but did not want to take a chance). My question is the following : how do I know the impeller/ raw water pump is working? I started the boat with a hose in the fers water port. Started right up, but temperature seems to be going up fast. I shut down the engine when it reaches around 180. I'm just trying to figure out if the pump is pumping water. I'm not sure where to look or what to look for. After the first time I started it up, I pulled the raw water pump off to check and there was no damage to the impeller not did any water come out. What am I missing? Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!!
