So... rain moving out tonight, plans to fish the marsh tomorrow. Pulled the boat out of storage unit at 2p to redo some wiring connections on the trailer which the saltwater has consumed.
Boat has been on storage for 5 weeks. Hooked up the fuel line, primed the bulb, and motor fired off 1st crank. Revved it up and motor pissing good. Was going to let it run for 5 minutes, but motor gradually stopped peeing. Unhooked tube from water jacket to the 3way going to temp sensor and pee outlet, and almost no water coming thru. What was dripping thru was HOT. Started troubleshooting, blowing compressed air thru water jacket, and realized there was no water circulating out the vents in the foot ...
I replaced impeller almost 1 year ago, when I bought the boat, but figured that was where the problem had to be. Dropped the foot and found the impeller to be damaged
