    water circulation pump Merc 5.0

    I have a newly aquired Maxum 2100sc 5.0 Carb'd, full fresh water cooling, Alpha 1 leg I believe the boat has overheated recently (my fault for not knowing about a through hull sea water pick up for raw water), so Im in the midst of removing the raw water pump to check the impeller.

    AQ 120 B Stalls in gear

    Volvo Penta 120 stall in gear

    I'll preface by stating I AM A GREEN-HORN, I am on my second boat, (I bought the first one 2 weeks ago and it wasn't big or fast enough). I spent $1800 on a 1980 Campion with a Volvo / Penta 120 I/B, the oil smelled like gas (badly), I changed it, checked the plugs, dist., wires, and decided to...
