I removed it and then placed it in hot water and it did not open

Yes I pulled the thermostat this morning and its stuck closed so I think that is the culprit. I think the hoses on the impeller are correct. I have the intake hose going to the bottom port and those hose to the engine is on the top port.

It is possible, the hose going from the flushpoo is going to the bottom port. Is that incorrect? I pulled the exhaust elbows and bellows I looked down into the y pipe and and didn’t see any flap valves or metal plates anywhere. The elbows are corroded pretty bad so I’m going to change them.

Thank you I was able to shift with pliers on the clamp and it shifted through the gears no problem.

I figured it out. I used pliers to grip the clamp on that cable and moved in and out of gear. Thanks!

I have a bravo one outdrive and I just took it off the boat, and separated the upper and lower for the first time. After putting it back together the drive shaft and prop shaft both spin independently but not together. I can't remember if the drive shaft was spinning the prop shaft when I took...

I made sure that piece was in there when I put it back together. The whole outdrive is off. If it was in neutral when I pulled it off will it be in neutral? Is there a way to test if it will turn or as long as all those pieces are in there and everything linked up it will be good?

Thank you! Sorry for the delayed response, I am not sure why I did not see the notifications on this I thought that nobody had responded and I was left to independent research. I took the outdrive off to see if there was any blockage in the water intake system on that but it all appears to be...

https://clubsearay.com/index.php?threads/help-me-cooling-system-issues.115890/ This is my new post detailing everything that happened and all my mistakes along the way

Alright I am going to start from the beginning because I am a total novice and need all the guidance I can get from you wise gentlemen on the forums. I'm gonna swallow my pride and be totally honest with all my boneheaded mistakes. I live down in San Diego and bought my first boat, a 1993...

I was meaning a separate cooling system for both. I took off the hose from the water pump to the thermostat and it had water pushing through it. I took it out for a test drive that went disastrously so I'm going to make a new post explaining everything from the beginning because I have no...

I ran the engine for about a minute or so. I am not sure what type of raw water pump it is, but it has a Bravo 2 drive. I just saw the water sitting still in the flushpro and squeezed the hose going from the water pump to the thermostat and it felt like there wasn't water going through. I...

I recently replaced my raw sea water pump. When starting it after the replacement there is not water flowing through the block. There is water in my flusher but doesn't appear to be moving, and I squeezed the main water hose running from the water pump to the thermostat and it felt empty. There...

Bummer. Thanks for the info

Hey guys first year with my boat and I have had good luck with everything working up until now. My seawater pump cracked on the housing that holds the impeller. I replaced the impeller and housing and when I got everything set back up there was a leak coming out of the side of the seawater pump...
