No water flow

Post by lakewind69 »

Had the engines rebuilt on my 1969 30" Sea Raider. Ford 302 Interceptors. Starboard engine is fine...runs great. Problem is with the port engine. No water flowing through cooling system. New impeller installed. Have checked hoses on the outlet side of pump and found no blockage. Any ideas? Lake Superior is calling...help!

Thanks for the advise. After 1&1/2 years on the hard, I went back and looked at my pre engine removal pictures and noticed the port intake was incorrect. Switched them and everything is fine now. The forum comes through again! I'm try to send some pictures. :D
