This past weekend I chased air leaks on my raw water side . One was its the top of the raw water strainer and the other at the raw water pump . I finally got it running a consistent 180 degree temp for over two hours at 1700 rpm and no air bubbles in the strainer . I still think I can get better flow out the exhaust. The impeller is new. The pump is an orberdorfer . Today I ordered new a new cam , cover plate , o ring and screws for the pump . I was going to get a new raw water strainer but couldn’t justify the bucks . I added a new o ring to the top of the strainer. I think I could probably just resurface the cap and get a better seal.
Just about everything that I’ve had to work on that is mechanical on my boat has had tell-tale signs of the PO having issues , anybody else notice this kind of thing with their boats? This is not my first time with this air issue . I’m going to do my best to end it this time .
