Bust Out Another Thousand

[Baron Von Crowder]

to continue the info on running the engine without water to the case...

depending on which gear case (lower unit) is on the boat, there are two different type water pumps (on/in the lower unit) used to supply water to the circulation pump on the engine.

If it has a Gen I lower, it utilizes a smaller high pressure, high volume impeller... they have a lot of radial tension with impeller vanes against the pump housing stainless steel insert and are quickly damaged when run dry.

If it has a later Gen II lower, it uses a larger, high volume, low pressure water pump that are more resistant to damage when being run dry. It's still not good either way, but the later Gen II pump may survive a without damage for a few more rounds if you're lucky.

post up a pic of the outdrive and I'll try to ID which one you have.

Mardyn is damned near famous with this stuff!

True Story - I was watching drag boats on Saturday afternoon TV one time, recognized his voice first, did a double-take and then yelled to my wife - "Look, David is on TV!"

Come on David, post up one of the old ESPN commentator videos!

Edit. Amazon has ot.

I fucking hate boats because I get stuck working on them for my friends and I worked at boat stealership at Eagle Point Marina in my teens and had to wash a fucking million gotdammutherfucken boats.

I believe that you are misquoting me.

[BMCSean]

I didn't quote you...

[svauto-erotic855]

Correction; I believe that you are mischaracterizing the meaning of my first post in this thread.

[BMCSean]

Now you're just being modest.
