Water Pumping Question Force 120

[mavic]

Hello,<br /><br />Does anyone know if the water pump on a 1990 Force 120 should be able to pump water if placed in a tank that fills up to the intake vents? Basically, when I try this I dont see the tattle stream but if I hookup to a flushing device, I do. Does the entire lower unit need to be submerged? <br /><br />Also, the high temp alarm sensor tested bad. Are these universal parts or is it specific to the engine? Any place online I could get one?<br /><br />Thanks!

You need to submerge it to 3 or 4 inches minimum above the cavitation plate.

I HAVE A 120 1994 AND WHAT I DID WAS TO INSTALL A SURFACE TEMP. SENDING UNIT ON THE HEAD.I REALLY THINK WHEN THE FACTORY ALARM GOES OFF IT MAY BE TO LATE.IF YOU WOULD LIKE THE PART NO# @ WHERE YOU CAN PURCHASE IT E MAIL FOR MORE INFO.
