When replacing the impeller some kits come with a new housing and shift shaft bushing.

Oh boy are you in for the ride of your life, and i mean a bad ride. That is a 470 / 3.7l /170 engine. If you do a search you will see a bunch of posts about that dreaded engine. If you havn't picked it up yet don't. Don't spend one penny on this boat. Is there a actual alternator with a belt...

Yea there is a kill switch yours just doesn't have a lanyard on it. Some have it right in front of the throttle handle. So say it's in run position, pull a plug wire off, insert a spare plug hold it to the block and crank the engine see a spark ? Yes you have spark, then it"s fuel that you...

Yea pressure testing the bloc before taking off this and that, would be too much work, then you would know exactly where it was, or in 2 places. Why listen to me, what do i know ?

Sounds like the elbows, spacer, or flapper fell down. Time to remove the elbows, check to see if they are clogged, if you have spacers check them, and while off make sure the flappers / shutters are still there and didn't fall down. You have heat exchangers, those also need to be checked.

Pull the fuel pickup tube out of the tank, check to see it is clear and make sure the anti-syphon valve is working correctly and not plugged up. Next remove the element from the fuel water separator, dump the contents into a clean clear container. Now blow thru the hose from the tank side and...

Actually it is quiet, and can give more then 900 watts. It doesn't stink that much also, just have to use the mix. It's very light and did i mention cheap, with the coupon like 70 bucks. If you wanted to use it on the platform to charge the batteries, watch tv whatever.

Jb weld would have been better on the pan, would have been a perm. fix.

Smell the oil you will know if it's drive oil or not. Drive oil then the drive needs sealing. Engine oil you just have to check the dipstick to see if the level is lower.

I believe you just need elbows. Right now on craigs in Toms River: http://jerseyshore.craigslist.org/boa/4624750436.html

Don't want to step on any toes here, seeing as i am relatively new here. If this were my boat ... I would first make sure the bottom and drives are clean. I would confirm by looking on the cover or engine recommended wot, rpm for your engines and year. Say your recommended wot, rpm is...

Thanks people, makes me all warm and fuzzy inside getting greeted in such a gracious manner.

Start with the impeller, then change out the t-stat, and if that doesn't fix it pull the elbows / risers. If they are clogged time for new ones.

Been a member for a while, however i have not posted many messages. Some might know me here from other websites. What do you people think, got room here for a siteless poster ? I know a little about boats, mechanics and such, i will try to help if i think i can. Thank you !

Hi all, why would anyone want to know about me ?

Pressure test the block. Put air to the green arrow hose, block the red X hoses.

Copied and pasted here from another site i use to post to: Here go down the list, one by one, when you have checked off all of them you ether have no problem, or have found the problem or problems. This is a generic list you don't have a carb: for example. Engine Won't Reach Operating...

Pull the elbows / risers. Bet they are clogged.

Hidden water in the hull ?

Pull the elbow / riser maybe clogged. If it is i recommended replacing both. Check for the shutter / flapper may have fell down you must find it.
