Sea Pump priming????
I ran my boat Saturday for the first time. No tempature reading on the gauge. Had plenty of water from the sea pump, and aways has when running in a trough at home (I do not use water muffs).
On Sunday I worked on various things like the timing and ran the boat with good water flow.
THEN, I replaced the water tempature sender in the thermostat housing. Cranked the engine, no water flow from the Sea Pump.
Is it possible that an air lock was created? What do I do with this situation?
Just seems too odd to just quit like that.

If your pump is working correctly any air will be forced out. I would do like p31 said and check your impeller. How many hours do you have on the impeller? Has it ever been ran dry?

I agree with the last two guys, sat all winter and ran the boat and the impeller failed. thats why they should be replaced once a year, made sure you remove all rubber after the pump and account for all the blades, back flush the system.
