Does the engine water intake need to be primed? When adding antifreeze last fall the engine didn't want to suck in the antifreeze I was pouring in the top of the intake strainer. Posted about it here and someone mentioned the impeller might have broken.
At the boat today. Looked at the impeller, intact. Pulled the intake strainer. Clear. Hose from thru hull to strainer is clean. Hose from strainer to water pump is clear. Hose from water pump to heat x clear. Put everything back together. Tutned engibe on. No water coming out of the back of the boat. Pulled water pump apart. Had my daughter start the engine water pump is Turning so that is working.
Seems like water isn't getting pulled into engine.
Took the hose from the water pump to the heat x off, at the heat x and turned engine on. Wanted to see if I was getting water up to that point. Figured m aybe issue was after that point. No water came out after running for a minute or two.
