Default Need some help/advice

I got a new 14 1/2 foot inflatable boat for this upcoming kite season. I put a 40 hp Johnson Seahorse on the back. It ran great the first time but now the motor won't circulate water.
Anyone know how to fix this??

The vanes on the water pump sometimes need to be replaced

He seems to have taken it apart and given a thorough look. I think someone with a boat mechanic background is gonna need to look at it. Jayson is pretty good with stuff like this, but it went up to needing an advanced lookover it sounds like.

Bob described the lower unit just like the back of his hand Jayson. He should be able to help you out.

Pull off the lower unit and replace the impeller.. make sure you dont put it in backwards (vanes twisted in the wrong direction).

Some older outboards require you to remove the entire power head to replace the impeller.
