Okay so sorry for the delay in posting the results. After the third install of the out drive, man I hate the gear lube oil, the issue was fixed its running like a top and cool. It was the pick up tube that was not aligned correctly with the upper even though it separated it on the the outdrew...
Rick,
Funny I thought of this the other day but was hesitant to do it. Will test it tomorrow while waiting on impeller housing and upper housing seal for water pick up. Thanks again Rick.
Thank you for the schematics and the time you spent making to marks to spell it out for me. I have the out drive off and separated on the stand. I found the bushing up in the upper to have a gouge in it (on order). Also the SS housing has a grove on the the top (on order). After disassembly of...
Bottom right hose is not tied into the thermostat.It just runs underneth "t" off to each manifold. Reading an article states that water pressure can give you a faulty indication of impeller pumping, hence water coming out of drain point. I agree on debris would have to be be huge and since it...
Okay . Disconnected the hoses while running on muffs. See picture below from left to right clock wise disconnected hoses while running.
1) To Starboard manifold hose runs from under manifold to t stat- No water, or a dribble
2) To Port manifold hose runs from under manifold to t-stat - No water...
Wow, this makes so much sense. Okay once temp goes up all bit today, Im a cold weather wennie, its 50 now then will do this. I am going to order a new impeller kit with housing this time. Once this test is complete.
Yes I agree on the swapping parts. I had the thermostat already and, yes it...
Rick,
I plan to do this today. I will look at schematics to make sure it is the right one. So many hoses tied into the thermostat housing. I am going to order another kit. My question to you is what kit do you buy? I ordered the last one from GLM Part #12043, with this happening I am losing...
Okay thanks. I have thought about the circulating water pump as it is the original. Those flow diagrams are difficult to follow, for me anyways. Use to work and kids have not been able to constantly troubleshoot other than fix this then this. i am leaning towards buying a complete new impeller...
Sorry did not see this until after the post below. No sir not my system don't have a closed system. I believe this is for a closed system with the water pump in the diagram in the top left.
I would snip mine but don have that on this computer
Ugg. So started it up and same thing. Zero discharge out the exhaust ports. I waited this time longer to make sure everything was full and the thermostat opened. Temp got up to just under 175 deg on my guage. Looked and no discharge. Steam coming out of the prop discharge. I shut it down. No...
Being methodical about replacing stuff. Replaced the original thermostat gasket, sealant, thermostat sleeve, and housing gasket. Waiting for a drain plug to come come tomorrow then will try it to see if it was the thermostat. Have not removed the stud riser with he potentially backwards gasket...
I just found a random drawing that shows the restrictor gasket in
between the riser and manifold with the restricted side to the aft of the boat not the front as another drawing indicated? Does anybody know which way it goes ? Could it be that simple?
Well back to the drawing board. Ran it today now i am not getting any discharge out of the exhaust/ discharge ports. I started to see steam coming out and shut it down before it got hot. Both manifolds were warm to the touch. Can this problem be associated with the thermostat? Or possibly...
