ARE WE TALKING RAW WATER OR A BLOCK PUMP ??????

Some things here are a little confusing.

If u have a raw water pump and a crossover on your engine ,,,they will prime them selfs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

100 % !!!!!

Daredevil, raw water pumps don't "always" prime themselves. I've seen it first hand.

The 232 Sea Ray for instance is natorious for not wanting to self prime until you get some air out of the hose coming from the transom assembly to the raw water pump after a long winters rest..

Yep that's right. And I can garantee with mine there are no air leaks because I pressure tested it over the winter during rerig. It still won't prime. It's really annoying, but plan for it.

89.6mph for me so far Panther with the new x :coolcowboy:

Thanks for all the Advice fellas. Filled the whole system with water, atleast as much as i could..lol didn't want another impella blow out. But the engine pulled water like a champ..:drink: I was suppose to take some video footage, but i guess i was so excited that i totally forgot that i took the camera to the boat..Oh well i guess next time:eek:
