No just the impeller it’s just the first time changing it on the 1971 38 commander!!

Maybee one more season out of it lol!

Thank you!! I already have it out and 2 new ones on the way overnight. Always learning!!

Thank you for your help I really appreciate it!!! Love this club!!

Thank you I started with the easy stuff first but my impeller is metal

I could blow through the intake and it went through I took off the 4 bolt cover where 2 hoses go to the exhaust manifolds I saw a spring horizontal something in there very little water coming up from it when I started the motor with the 4 bolt hoses are hooked to

Yes fresh

Raw water

Oh 427 ford Chris craft

The reason I drain all water from my motors especially is I was a lineman and line foreman over 30 years and anything can happen you wouldn’t even think of besides a weather event to cause power to go out for unknown amount of time for repairs and marinas are not a priority just something to think about.

That’s some greatly appreciated information to know you tought me that lesson on my dometic vaccuflush generator so now you tought me how to recognize the real oem from after market you have to look closely.just because the part number matches doesn’t mean it’s not a knock off.thank you once again it’s appreciated!

I think I’ll start looking for a genhead.

125v on both

My 1971 38 has side by side one 30a and one 50a.

Yes it was a learning moment,I have lots of learning moments in 34 years and thanks to the club I'm still learning.cant get enough!!

Something else to think about. I had an impeller go bad in the middle of the lake on a cold day with friends on board I didn't notice temp gauge both motors died opened engine hatch and the rubber collars on one motor were on fire right by 100 gallon gas tank 4 fire extinguishers still on fire finally several buckets of water out!! Called may days and talked about jumping overboard tough decision to go ahead and fight the fire!!

Are there impellers made of some kind of metal? If so how often should they be changed?

I ordered a new bellows from environmental marine then noticed part numbers match with the one on Amazon so is the Amazon part still just a knock off?

I'll try the o ring first again thank you.
