    Water pump leak?

    Maybe it’s just this one but I looked in to the Johnsons and they’re $330. The junky Amazon one was $85. Obviously still not worth it but I was unable to fight the temptation! Aaaand now we’re here. I would say lesson learned but seems like I’ve learned this one before.

    Water pump leak?

    Still issues with the new RWP. I had it running on the hose hookup and the thermostat got up to about 185 and I shut it off. The IR thermometer didn’t really tell me a lot (probably cause I don’t know what to look for to diagnose). The hoses on top didn’t seem to be getting warm and didn’t feel...

    Water pump leak?

    Will do! Only got a week or 2 of season left in KC and the other pump won’t arrive for a week or 2 so gonna give it a go and see what happens. I have the thermometer and will update. Thanks!!

    Water pump leak?

    Question on this, if I didn’t have any impeller grease. Would regular marine grease work? I have an oem impeller that I can put in this thing, i thought the grease was lost but it’s still in the box. So more of a question for future reference.

    Water pump leak?

    Just to add some confirmation to that and maybe save someone else the time of trying to save a few bucks on Amazon here’s a picture of the NEW impeller that came in the Amazon pump that was delivered today. Came pre-broken, cracked on the base of one of the fins on top.

    Water pump leak?

    I ordered one on Amazon that arrives tomorrow 😬. Looking at the link you shared, I might regret saving that $115

    Water pump leak?

    Wondering also if the rust at the base of that stem may be an indicator that water is getting past that seal.

    Water pump leak?

    Thanks @ESGWheel ! Got into in and here are some pics. It all looks to be good with the impeller. There’s a chance that last time I only ran it for a 3-4 mins and this time was closer to 10 but I’m not 100% sure. Here are some pictures. I’m thinking if I reassemble and still leaks than I need to...

    Water pump leak?

    Found this video on YouTube Same motor. Looks like same issue. He walks through a few different repairs before landing on the solution for him. Impeller and O ring, hose sleeves that connect to the housing worn out, and then finally replacing the entire pump assembly because the built in seal...

    Water pump leak?

    4.3 GL-D 3869251 4012141889planning on taking the boat to the lake today but figured I’d be smart and start it at home first this time. Noticed a little water getting splashed around by the belt. I think it’s coming from the water pump? The other thing that seems odd is last time I ran the boat...

    Is this water hookup for winterizing or for running out of the water?

    Awesome thanks!

    Is this water hookup for winterizing or for running out of the water?

    Does running it using the feed affect water temp readings? When I finally got the boat running and let it idle for a while I noticed it didn’t move past 100 or so. Do you know if this is due to where the water is coming in? Thanks

    4.3 GL-D Electrical Issues

    This is the fluctuating I was referring to. I can hear a very slight change in the sound of the motor when it’s spiking but I’m not sure if that sound comes through on the video.

    4.3 GL-D Electrical Issues

    Yes it works but it’s a little jumpy. I was thinking of starting a new thread to figure that out. This is the sensor next to the distributor, right?

    4.3 GL-D Electrical Issues

    I just posted a reply to @alldodge about the ran/black wire. I think it goes to the oil pressure switch but I can’t find said switch.

    4.3 GL-D Electrical Issues

    I took a closer look at that wire and took a better picture. Based on the diagram you gave me, I think it goes to the oil pressure switch (which I cannot find). There’s another diagram I found that says it’s for a 4.3 gl (attached) but it doesn’t show the 2 Exhaust Overheat Sensors (which are on...

    4.3 GL-D Electrical Issues

    Well, changed the fuel filter and it runs fine! The filter that was on there was pretty loose so I wonder that was the main culprit.

    4.3 GL-D Electrical Issues

    Yep! 1st boat and don’t really have anyone experienced to show me the ropes. This site has been a tremendous resource. I’m definitely taking the advice I get from friends and running it through here to make sense of what’s what. Not working at the moment so hopefully when I am I can get some of...
