4-14 / Bluegrass FWA - Bird Dog Pit

[Moveon]

OK thanks for the good advice. Wish we have a forum in here for boat repairs. Sorry Bassmanic if I hijacked this thread. I can't go fishing until I get the boat fixed. After that's done I'll go back to posting fishing reports about Bluegrass.

I will say this. If you launch your boat at the South End of Loon be aware that it's very shallow down there even with the water up. There are weeds growing in this very shallow water. The bottom is a muck type and could possibly be the reason why my water pump system is messed up. I know it's not good on the propeller either.




QUOTE=Embrey;450224]theres not many tricks to it,but dont skimp and just put the impeller in it. get the whole thing changed. you have to take it all apart anyway,and the housing has just as much wear on it as the impeller does. as cheap as it is, why reuse old parts?[/QUOTE]

Not much to changing water pump I have a 96 ev 50hp took about 45min just make sure you check o-rings and seals on water pump only two gromets on the shift lever just make sure you don't lose the little key that turns the rotor and why you are at it check thermostat

I got the manual out today and read though the part about changing out the water pump. Doesn't look to be that hard. I may try to do it myself and just buy the parts for the job tomorrow.
