Re: After water pump impeller change out, water doesn't seem to come back out... pls After following the adjustment guide, I have gears again :) thanks again everyone. next up I'll change oil & filters. I also ordered Bennett auto trim so I might install that before taking it out to test...

Re: After water pump impeller change out, water doesn't seem to come back out... pls Temperature: when should I take caution about chance of overheating then? Shifting/gear: I'm gonna follow the adjustment procedure from service manual #14 first and will report back what's going on. Thank you

Re: After water pump impeller change out, water doesn't seem to come back out... pls Actually, mine was pass 170 on stbd, and is a raw water, not a closed cooling system. Where do you read with the IR thermostat again?

Re: After water pump impeller change out, water doesn't seem to come back out... pls Hah, page 97 on my mercruiser manual says, "do not use full water tap pressure. Also, do not run engine above 1500 rpm, as suction created could cause water hose to collapse causing water supply to be cut...

Re: After water pump impeller change out, water doesn't seem to come back out... pls If that's true then I can take it down to the water and test it. All things correct it should stay at 160, correct?Thank you.

Re: After water pump impeller change out, water doesn't seem to come back out... pls Thanks Dennis, as always, for quick reply. I opened the intake hose as you mentioned, started the engine and water did come out but not strong enough. I immediately double checked my hose. It seemed like I...

Thanks Tim, for the article. I read it and seems like I would lean toward an I/O setup. A V drive setup would probably have better resell value, IF I'm already thinking about it. :)

Hi Jim. Can you pls double check and give me the specs of your trailer? How's the pull with your 2500HD? Any additional towing gear? Mine is a F350 diesel with stock hitch. Thank you.

Re: After water pump impeller change out, water doesn't seem to come back out... pls Cliff, thanks for reassuring. Dennis, I'm gonna go try that right after this message. Your picture of the impeller direction and what Westie suggested is the same as what I installed. But looking at this...

Better yet, jump right to the 280 :). I started out with a 240, sold it after a couple of month to get a 280, after almost got into contract for a 260. After two seasons I'm now drooling the 310. Well I'm crazy about boating in general. But I think at least check out all three before you...

Re: After water pump impeller change out, water doesn't seem to come back out... pls I was lying down looking up when installing the lower unit. And I'm sure the hoses are mating correctly. However, I think I'm gonna remove one out to verify just to make sure. Before I'm doing that, can...

Re: After water pump impeller change out, water doesn't seem to come back out... pls Hi David, Only some tune up works done: cap & rotor, plugs. Haven't reached the oil & filters change out yet. Previous owners stated he changed exhaust manifolds & risers just 2 seasons before he sold it...

:) I like the way you think Rggale. The boat I offered on is a Cobalt and seller just made an addendum to the agreement. It's a fixer-upper kinda boat though. So I am really looking forward to closing it. I'd still keep my eyes open for Sea Ray deals too. :) By the way, has anyone been...

Re: After water pump impeller change out, water doesn't seem to come back out... pls Impeller keyways were both installed, for sure. Water lines were aligned correctly. I verified it a couple of times both sides since I noticed how important it was. Also, water did get into the engine sides...

Good Thursday everyone. As I mentioned on my other post, I've been working on my boat for the last couple of weeks, on and off. Here's the status update: - I got the rotor sensor changed out so it started again (was a crank but not start problem). - Went ahead and change all bellows, water...
