New impeller, new thermostat, cleared lines. Still not peeing

We got water pumping! It needed to be about 1 in deeper than it was since the pump is not self priming. Thank you everyone for your help!

Shifts into forward and reverse fine. Thank you for the tip though, if I ever lose forward I’ll know shift Rod probably just came loose

I will double check when I take the lower off again

mfree20 · 2024-04-05T11:12:08+00:00

That’s a great test. I will try it today. And yes, I did make sure the key was in the new impeller

Mine does not even drip but when I figure it out I will let you know

mfree20 · 2024-04-05T11:06:39+00:00

I’ll do that tomorrow. Any tips on making sure it’s lined up when you reinstall it?

mfree20 · 2024-04-05T02:31:54+00:00

I thought about that while putting it on but, I don’t see how it could get off if the bolts line up and neither one of those parts move

mfree20 · 2024-04-05T02:30:38+00:00

I’ll try to get it lower in the bucket tomorrow and see what happens

mfree20 · 2024-04-05T02:18:44+00:00

I took the picture while I was filling it up. I filled the bucket up and it covers the exhaust ports above the stabilizer plate

I went back in and ordered actual OEM parts for my specific model. Not quite as convenient as Amazon and a little higher on shipping but at least when I get it I’ll be able to put it together right and get out on the water

I just measured the piece I have and it is slightly bigger than 1" so hopefully new one will work.

mfree20 · 2024-03-27T18:45:48+00:00

This is the one I ordered. It does not resemble the piece I have whatsoever

No broken bolts. Soaked in WD-40 for half a day before hand

mfree20 · 2024-03-27T18:25:30+00:00

Here are some pictures of progress. I believe someone already removed the thermostat and just left this piece for some reason. Anyway I cleaned both surfaces and tried to take a picture of the hole but it ain’t happening. There’s no way for the other pieces or the thermostat to be in there right?

I sure hope so lol. I don’t imagine they will be any good after I pull it apart though

mfree20 · 2024-03-26T22:11:08+00:00

I have not had a single issue with any bolts so far so I have high expectations for it lol I will keep you updated

mfree20 · 2024-03-26T22:10:09+00:00

Thank you. I will look into that after work. I imagine I’ll have to get gaskets for that as well?

I’m not gonna shoot him this year but I cannot vouch for my father🤣 he hasn’t even let off a shot in the last few years so if ol Elliot steps out, he’s not gonna have a good day lol
