Hi,
After a lot of advice from members, after an over heat issue (thanks guy's),
I have checked the engine out and found these issues.
1, water pump has a small weep at water pump
2, impeller has disintegrated
3, impeller plate is badly worn face
The boat is KEEL COOLED and has a pekins 4108 with bowman haet exchanger on top of front of engine above the 3 pullies.
I have a new water pump complete with gaskets and spacer plate
a new impeller gaskets and front brass plate
i have removed the pipe that goes from right hand side of impeller housing to gear box cooler and found small fragments of impeller there, i have washed this out and replaced again.
i have cleaned the inlet water filter and will do a full oil and filter change later
Is there anything else i need to check do before fitting these parts and running engine
Thanks
