cooling problem force 75hp

#1 Post by sick_46 » Sun Oct 26, 2014 1:28 pm

I have a 98 Tracker Force 75 on my toon. the last time it was out I heard the dreaded temp warning beeper. I shut it down right away so I don't think anything was hurt in the motor. I let the kids swim for a couple of hours before I fired it back up. I was only a few 100 ft from the ramp so I fired it up and headed for the dock. I looked when I fired it up and water was just dribbling out of the pee hole on the motor so I figured it was just a water pump impeller failure. well I finally got it apart today and the impeller looks good and there was no mud in it or anything. Can you guys tell me what I should look for next? thanks

the impeller looks good
Are the paddles bent or straight? if bent it may mean they aren't working well. if not there may be some blockage somewhere. or possibly a bad thermostat. Hope this is some help.

An impeller that looks good can be bad. Change it anyway

Depending on how old it is impellers will take a set on the blades and not pump very well. And its sure a place to start.
If it aint broke your not having enough fun
