POST YOUR EXPERTISE BELOW!!! Hey y’all!! So we haven’t cranked it up as of yet- we had someone message us and say we needed to fill the pump with water or some type of lubricant before we crank it! All the impeller fins have on them is dish soap! Should we take a hose off and put some water in there or are we ok!? TELL US, EXPERTS!!! 🙌🏼

@dnjsmith91 3 жыл бұрын

I just used dish soap when I installed it and hooked water hose and earmuffs when I did mine

@henrybaugh1715 3 жыл бұрын

Just dish soap is sufficient

@lar10101 3 жыл бұрын

Just put on the earmuffs, and run the water with good pressure. A little cold water should come from the discharge. Start the motor, and look for the discharge from the exhaust port to confirm the impeller is functioning. It should increase. Discharge water should be warm, not hot, and flow may increase with mild revving of the engine. Do not over rev, and don't put it in gear. Do you have temp gauge on the dash? Keep an eye on it, if so. Love the videos.

@trythistv 3 жыл бұрын

You're fine, put muffs on and fire it up, check risers to see if they stay cool, and watch exhaust for water exiting. Your impeller didn't look that bad but was due for replacement, I've seen them where the fins were all gone and we've had to pull every line off and find them all else risk one blocking a passage. I use glycerin as an impeller installation lube as it is water based and won't attack rubber, certain "lubricants" of the Kentucky (KY) variety are glycerin, but dish soap works perfectly fine too.

A rule of thumb on boats is to have two hose clamps at every location. Redundancy is a good thing. It might keep the boat from sinking.

Always back flush that intake hose before installing back on the seawater pump. Take in off at the thermostat housing and back flush it with a garden hose to get out all the pieces of impeller.

Most impellers come with a water soluble lube in a squeeze package ,to help with installation ,but more important to lube the rubber as it will be running dry on startup .Another good lube to use by many marine mechanics is KY jelly as it is water soluble and has more than one use...LOL

My dad was a WWII veteran, was at the Battle of the Bulge and many engagements. He had a sense of humor, to help him thru tough situations. I do like your videos very much.

Best practice on those impellers is2 soap up the interior instead of the impeller. Then it will slip right in. Do the same w/the hoses just b4 reinstall &they will pop right on.

Dish soap is just fine to use on impeller blades when installing.

Hey guys..next time try pulling the two bolts that hold the pump bracket to the block...they are on the front next to the timing cover. Then pull the whole deal. On my boat (same pump, same thing.) I just use dish soap and gently slide the impeller into the housing at the same time turning the pulley gently in the right direction, no zip ties needed impeller blades lay over just fine. When reassembling, slide the pump into place as you slide the lower hose back on...gives you room to battle upper... Always use the fake-a-lake when firing out of the water, period. With fresh impeller put the muffs on and turn on the water, slowly, let it run a minute or two, then one of ya on the key and the other on the water valve, once she starts give more water right away. I have been doing this for 20 years or so and no failures so far...

@mikenicholson9465 3 жыл бұрын

I was afraid you were going to have a problem with that pump, in your first video you started the engine dry. Never run that pump dry. Put the impeller on the shaft and screw the housing over it. Orient the blades on the impeller the proper direction, a single motor should run clockwise, if not you could trash the impeller on start up. I am glad to see you got the new one piece housing also. Lubricate with a thin coat if water proof grease when installing. Very important, the inlet hose seals the whole lake from coming into your boat, do not take a chance on your hose clamps not being tight. Now you see why boat mechanics get $100.00 an hour. Lol Good job on your first bravo water pump impeller replacement!

Looks good to me, and those pumps will self prime, so I wouldn't worry about trying to prime it manually. Just don't wait forever to put it in the water as the soap can crystallize and dry out like glue after a while. If you are going to be in salt water make sure your zinc anodes are in good shape and haven't been painted over. They need yo be contacting bare metal underneath somewhere for current to pass through. Its also a good idea to check your outdrive for stray current when the engine is running with a volt meter. You'll need a chunk of silver to drop in the water on your probe. There are videos on here about how to do it if you don't know. Me trying to explain it here won't be as clear and straightforward as if you watch a video anyways. Good luck.

I suspect, just like with a smaller outdrive with impellers in their lower unit, it is a HELL of a lot easier to install the impeller first onto the shaft. Then grease the impeller fins and housing, and then install the housing on the shaft while twisting the shaft (or perhaps the housing in this case) in the appropriate direction. No zip tie sorcery required.

If there's another impeller change in my future I will thread a bolt into the front of the impeller pulley, and use a ratcheting strap to pull the pump away from the hoses. I have a bit more room in my boat, so you might not be able to use the same technique. Too bad they designed the pump to be in the worst possible location. I believe the Volvos are much easier.
