Christmas is ruined

[Jdog]

Well I went out and started the boat after about a month and got real bad news, it never pissed any water. I guess letting it sit while I was recovering from surgery it went bad, is their anyone that can help me locate the right parts to repair it?

Run a wire inside the pee hole as they get clogged sometimes. Were the muffs on good and how much water pressure were you using? Did you get any overheat alarms? Could be time for a waterpump. Any idea when the last waterpump was done?

needing a water pump will not ruin christmas,
not being able to get the foot off will ruin christmas.

if you don't know when the last one was changed, its time to change it anyway

make sure you paint Marvel Mystery Oil on the new water pump impeller. that will soak into the rubber and keep it soft for years. will also reduce the rubber of getting memory. it will help to protect and save your impeller from a dry start. i do that to all water pump kits i install. torn one open after 10 yrs and still looked new and no memory from sitting. i have never had one come back with water pump issues.

Damn skools...that's a great idea. I've used WD40 to do basically the same thing when installing a new pump so there isn't a dry start, but I never though about using MMO. Thank you for the info.

99% sure the tube is got dirt in it or some random bug. Dirt dobbers clog mine up all the time.
