I got lower unit this spring and very happy about everything: price, workmanship, delivery. You are great!
My question: Last weekend I got to the boat, started engine and discovered water water pump is not pumping.
I disconnect hose inside engine compartment and started engine-nothing, no water flow. Check intake ports and they are not clogged.
In my I/O set up, engine gets cooling water from thru hull strainer by water pump installed on the front of the engine. Sterndrive pumping water thru itself only for cooling and thru the loop of the hose inside engine compartment, discharged water back overboard 12" above waterline via thru hull, sending steady flow of water on a top of the sterndrive for cooling.
What would you recommend to do?
Thnk you
