Re: water pump/lower unit
Well everything in the water pump looks brand new, but I replaced the impeller any ways.
Before I pulled the unit off I put it in reverse,neutral,and frwd to see how the prop spins so I have a reffrence later. In gear in would rotate in the correct direction with alitle preasure.
SO I put the engine in neutrral (thats what the book siad) and pulled it off. Everything went smoothly until I went to put it bavk on, it would go all the way up and stop about 1/2 inch from the top. After 1/2 hr of playing with everything it went up.
Put it in gear nothing prop spun freely ::)
Took it off, played with everything again about 10 min later put it on and it seemed to work.
when in neutral, the prop spins freely. But when in gear it is alott firmer then before in the correct rotation and is the same in the wrong rotaion.
I am going to go hook the hose up to her now and see what happens when I put it in gear.
