You keep saying bell housing ?? the hose goes from the connection on the inner transom plate to the sea pump, a bell housing is a large round object that bolts to the rear of the block and has two tabs that bolts to the inner transom plate to support the back of the engine

You guys are talking about 2 different hoses.
Anyone give any credence to the air lock theory.
Open cooling is kinda like having a drain cock open on a lower rad hose, it will drain until a vacuum is created unless you have the rad cap open to let air in.
Could my cooling system be doing the same thing when it is out of the water......

if I kept wiping out impellers,,I would install a sea strainer and keep it filled and high enough to hold water to the pump.
