Hey everyone...
We recently had the boat out on the water and noticed the generator was not expelling any water at all out of the exhaust. I removed the old impeller and found that every single vane was gone. Replaced with a new one and back flushed the heat exchanger. After back flushing and pushing water through via hose we were able to get 6 vanes out.
After that we turned the generator on and it would spit water every couple seconds.... I ended up removing every hose and cleaned the strainer. Pulled out some sticks and what is say was a 85% blockage from the intake hose after the seacock.
Here's the water flow now. Is this what I should be expecting or should it be a steady stream like the AC unit. I'm assuming this is the correct level of flow since it's gear driven by the crank and moved with exhaust....
Thanks for your time
