A Question??
The new boat Im trying to buy is a 2000 Eliminator 25 Daytona with a Keith Eickert 800 HP Engine.Soon as I sell my boat this one is mine.
The current owner is having a problem which we need explained to us.
This boat has been eating up water pump impellors at a fast rate We have only had it here for a month or so and it has smoked the impellor 3 times It appears when the boat is pulled out of the water,all the water in the engine and drive drains out the drive inlets...Imco Etreme SC drive ....Is this normal ...If so the next time you start the boat is the water pump impellor dry?
Or is there a check valve or something keeping it wet?
The owner has other boats.. A 23 Cougar and a few Velocities and says none of them drain as much water upon retrival as this one.
The water pump is A KE unit also but uses a standard mercruiser impellor
Im thinking that the pump should not be starting up dry everytime ?
Thanks in advance for any input ...JBB
