MC-1 Water Blockage?

[Tacoma_Dave]

Hey folks,

So if any of you are familiar with my other post, you know that I have some sort of blockage condition. Well, anyway...per Eric's suggestion, I pulled the outdrive off, stuck a hose to the water inlet, fired it up and a nice flow of water came flowing out of the Exhaust/Water exit port. It's pretty clear now that the problem resides within the sterndrive itself.

For the record, I have in fact replaced the impeller as the old one was in extremely bad condition. I bought the kit and replaced everything by following Chris' video. Is it possible that the water intakes are blocked? Possibly something between the impeller and the water inlet opening, and if so, what would that be? Thanks folks.

Redo the impeller job. Make sure the key is installed.

Pressure test the water pocket cover.

How high did the engine temp get running the hose without the drive? Well at least your narrowing down the issue.
