Do you have a sea water pump?
Bravo or Alpha?

Re: no water out exhaust
 

I have a bravo i checked the sea water pump it was ok the impeller was fine. The hoses are on correct i am at a loss. could it be the themo stat

Re: no water out exhaust
 

Do you have a stock thermostat housing? If so water should be going through the by pass to the risers. Are you trying to run on a flushette? Is the drive late with both side and low water pickups? Two many un answered ?????

Re: no water out exhaust
 

i am running a stock themostat housing

Re: no water out exhaust
 

yes the low water pick-up is taped closed it seems to blow some water if i rev it but that is it I am going to try it in the morning by putting the lower unit in a barrel with water to see if it picks up suction

Re: no water out exhaust
 

Did you mess with the thermostat? Possibly but the plastic sleeve in backwards?

Re: no water out exhaust
 

no i didn't mess with the themostat but if the housing was kind of worn on the back side of the themostat housing could that be why it might not be picking up suction there were some grooves in it but the impeller looked fine

Re: no water out exhaust
 

Might be a dumb question, but where is the water going?

Re: no water out exhaust
 

as far as i can tell it is not going any where my luck the sea water pump is shot and it can't pick up suction to push the water out of the motor

Re: no water out exhaust
 

There have been some that have had troubles with water getting through the fitting in the transome assembly. If your pump was in perfect condition it may flatten out the hose. If not it may simply not get water to it.
I have seen water run past the muffs when the engine isn't running as soon as the engine starts the is very little running past the muffs.

Re: no water out exhaust
 

I have seen the same thing my water was pouring out around the muffs even she was running i think i am going to go buy a new pump

Re: no water out exhaust
 

Sounds like the sea water pump is bad even though inspection looks ok (especially if you rev it and get some water out the exhaust). The stainless endplates in the pump and impeller contact may not allow the pump to seal properly if they are worn. The housing is probably worn/scored as well. They are pricey ~$80-100 to replace the whole pump, kit rebuild is about half that. ONE BIG THING- if you have taken apart or messed with the pump, make sure you have the inlet/ outlet hoses hooked to the correct ports!!!!! NOT 100% SURE but I think I remember the inlet hose from the drive to the pump is the top port on the pump. The outlet goes to your oil coller and then to the thermostat housing. PLEASE double check my suggestion or ask another as I do not remeber 100%....


Good Luck,

Re: no water out exhaust
 

You are correct with hose routing. Inlet on top outlet on bottom. Definatly sounds like worn sea water pump.

Re: no water out exhaust
 

just replaced sea water pump everything works must have been worn temps running about 165-170 on hose

thanks
