Hi guys,
I bought this lovely 19ft boat with an old engine last week.The boat is fine going to have all the electrics fitted next week. Now the engine I was told was serviced has a new impellor and was running before being stored a few months ago. Got the boat home gave it the once over checked it was pumping water through flush muffs ect.. Took it down to the harbour for a ten minute run around to see how she sat. Engine started and I trundled along the harbour wall, as i turned to go out i could smell something very hot and turned around, I could see lots of smoke from the engine so I turned it off. After my mate towed me back with his boat and tryed it again another friend said he could not see it pumping any water so home she went.
After we got her back off came all the panels and stripped down to the impellor. as I was told the impellor is new and ok. So we flushed all the pipes out and put it all back together and tried again, and it still is not pumping any water.
So if any of you have any ideas i would gladly listen.
Cheers guys
Kevin
