All cables have been removed and cleaned. Engine appears to turn freely manually. As stated before, starter is new, however exhibiting the same sympton as the old starter.
Motor was replaced with new one in 2014. Used 3-4 times per year after that. Used once this year. Not much chance of water in cylinder. Crank does turn easily when turning serpentine belt. Motor will not crank at all with turn of key, only single (strong) click of the starter solenoid. No Rat...
My 2007 Chaparral with 2014 Volvo Penta 5.7 starter clicks once with each turn of key, does not crank. I can feel the starter solenoid engaging but no crank. Starter is NEW, battery is fully charged. Old starter had the same issue as the new one but I was going to replace the starter anyway.
It appears my problem has been solved. After replacing the impeller (for the 3rd time), attaching muffs to the outdrive, water is flowing as it should and engine is cooling. I believe the impeller that was supplied with the pump unit was the incorrect one. It was 2/16 inch small in diameter...
Yes, the hoses that attach to the impeller housing are of two different sizes so impossible to make the wrong connection. I was wondering if the pump could draw water from a tub of water. OK, that was my mistake thinking it could.
I pulled the impeller and although it did not seem damaged...
Over heating “was” the reason for replacing impeller. After replacing impeller it still overheated so I assumed pump housing was bad so I replaced the entire pump.
I put the drive in tub of water covering the intake and would not draft water. I assumed the water level needed to be at the level...
If the consensus is that I should NOT pull the out drive, then I will take it to a repair facility. To put my boat in the water is an hour drive one way.
Now you have introduced another possible problem which I'm feeling reluctant to tackle. When you say I have to "split" the drive to get to the water tube, it's not sounding like I should tackle that problem. At that point I'd have to take to someone who will charge me twice as much to fix what...
OK, I agree, I really don't want to do this. Not many boat repair facilities in my area and the wait is super long. assuming I put it in water and pull the hose from the thermostat and no water comes out, what then?
