I am a new boat owner and a first time post to this forum. I have a 1988 Bayliner Trophy 21ft. It has a 3.0L OMC engine and a Cobra stern drive.<br />Just bought the boat and thought I would replace the impeller as a precaution. Replaced the impeller as directed in the manual. Now it does not appear that the impeller is working properly. No water discharge from the propeller and the Impeller housing is very hot to the touch. I carefully installed all the parts ensuring the gaskets and o-Ring were in place and tight. Is it possible that the impeller has lost its prime? I have the flush attachment hooked up and water turned on. How can I make certain that the impeller is working correctly? Thanks for any help.
