I made the attempt today to start the 18 for the first time in 2 years...and it appears I've got a bit of a cooling problem.
The boat actually started just fine (on the hose), but after not getting any water output, I shut it down to investigate.
So, here's my situation:
350, Crank Mount Pump, intake via 280 Volvo Drive, Circ pump on motor as well (not a crossover).
I removed the intake from the Crank mount pump - and ran the water back into the hose and got water out of the drive - confirmed no blockage on the intake side.
Hooked the intake back up and unhooked the output side, rant the crank a bit with the hose on the drive, pump seemed to pump from the drive.
Hooked all lines back up and tried boat again, got flow out of the exhaust this time, and then realized that I'd left the drains in the manifolds open when I winterized it, as water was pooring out of drains....
Closed the drains in the manifolds and re-fired, and now get no water flow out of exhaust.
I've never replaced the Impeller in the Raw water pump...so I figure I'll start there. Trouble is, boat is 30 minutes away, and my time is far too limited due to parenting duties...
So, can someone ID the pump in this picture, and provide a part number for an impeller by chance?
Also, any tips on replacing the impeller...or any other ideas.
I have managed to figure out a way to get to go boating this weekend...but I guess the idea of the boat being ready to go with only a few hours of work were a bit optimistic...Thanks!
