What pump are you talking about? Have no idea what a "sea bridge pump" is.

If it's the "bilge pump" you are talking about check your bilge for water. If the boat is sinking, it's probably not working.

Ahhhhh, Sea WATER pump, aka raw water pump.

Remove the outlet hose of the pump, start the engine (For a few seconds) and see if you have a good flow of water. Do this in the water, not on muffs.
If the impeller is over a couple of years old, It needs replaced anyway.

And be ready to turn the motor off. When it gets started it will come out like a fire hose.

thanks i have done that today while it was in the lake lots of water i also took the 2 hoses off that go to each exhaust manifold and it seems like the same flow to each one so why would one side get so hot this just got me puzzled

It doesn't matter how much water get TO the manifolds, but how much goes THRU the manifolds and out the exhause. If it's plugged up, you get ZERO flow thru the manifold and riser. AKA overheat on that manifold.
