So OK July 3 I get the no water out the exhaust deal ... and upset that I didn't just change my impellers every year like some owners do. Hey these impellers are supposed to last 1000 hours and I use the motor 50 hours a year here in NPT ... mostly to charge the battery as I'm on a mooring.
Naturally my spare was in the basement at home with the Metric 12 ... I travel light.
so I change the impeller and notice the the inch of hose under the clamp is shot ... that hose was sucking air. Now I have TWO perfectly good used impellers... a lifetime supply. The new one and old spare came with the boat when I bought it last year ... I'm betting that the old spare was the original.
I won't be able to cut another inch off that hose next time.
