Hey guys
I’ve run into a problem I could use some help on from those with far better knowledge than me. After a month of sitting at the slip without being started after Christmas. I went to fire up the motor and take the boat downstream for a visit to the rigger. Started right up like normal and glugged a couple of glugges and stopped. The tone changed to a hollow sound. No water at all was coming out.
Impeller checks outs fine. Raw water filter is clean. I seem to have decent flow at the pump, turning the seacock on and off. As a suggestion I tried blowing through the hose downstream of the pump and I couldn’t blow anything through it.
Is this likely an exhaust elbow? Other things I can check? Engine has always run fine at high rpm’s. No had an overheat. Raw water flow was fine before. The clog was very sudden. PO said he had cleaned the exchanger and the engine ran like that was true.
