call jimmy the greek, place your bets now ! vegas is taking odds on whats going to fail next for no apparent reason.

so by the book with an inch pound torque wrench, a new mercury impellor and after running for about 10 minutes yesterday, today it wont pump water.

3/4 id hose on full. All vanes on impellor but pump and hose has little rubber crumbs all over it.

new hardin sea pump w/ pulley on way along with gaskets and orings for the heat exchanger incase the crumbs made it that far.

Hmm. Was the motor turned over at all during the time you working on the rest of the boat? Possibly it dried out then after spinning for a while yesterday it broke apart?

Sea pump was rebuilt with new impellor last week.
Gotta be a volume issue with the garden hose even tho its 3/4
or the earmuffs.
Dont know size from street but there is 3/4 line all the way thru for the hose bib.
have to find a way to run for flushing and still need to bleed the steering

No low water pick up,
have redundancy checklists for wiping my butt,
Nasa launches a bazillion dollar rocket with less scrutiny then i'd push the start button on my boat
So no i made sure good water was getting to sea pump

Are you running a seastrainer between the drive and the water pump? if so you might want to consider but a fitting in the seastrainer for flushing system we have found the trying to pull water all the way from the drive thru a strainer is hard for the water pump to handle. Regards Dan

That's funny but I can totally relate. If somebody had a camera videoing us in our engie compartments it would make a good TV show. All kinds of drama happens there that nobody ever sees lol.

I know This ^^^^^^. One time i dropped the power steering res cap in the bilge of my 29 Outlaw of course out on the water.
Friend and I had to hold wife Upside down by her legs to grab it

No sea strainer, it didnt fit
Intake hose has to be removed for flushing.
The modified earmuffs i'm 50-50 on since they dont seal.
