Dewinterizing my 83 Mercedes boat yesterday and noticed running on muffs, no water pissing out from telltales. This tells me I possibly need to replace the water pump...but, additionally when I pulled the thermostat housing the inside was rusty and I poured water directly into the engine and still not running out of the lower unit...in addition to a bad water pump, do I also have a clog somewhere?? possibly in the manifold?? Engine runs great and last year had no issues overheating. Also the winterization process I think went well because there was still pink antifreeze in the manifold but I had to stick a pick through the manifold drain hole to get it to come out. Already have a water pump kit on order but what else should I be checking? Thanks!
