When I winterized my boat back in November, I was using a funnel in the intake hose to suck antifreeze into the impeller pump. It took a couple gallons and then stopped sucking up anymore fluid. I thought this was strange and decided to change out the impeller. The impeller looked pretty good but I went ahead and replaced it anyway. Fast forward to last night: I dropped her in the lake and she started right up, but I quickly noticed that it was not sucking up any water. I checked all the connections and no water was coming in anywhere. I am afraid I burnt up the new impeller but worse yet, I dont know how to solve the problem. Surely, I dont need a new impeller pump?! Any help would be appreciated.
