Hi everyone. I have a water flow issue with my westerbeke. Please read, steps I have taken before giving advice, as I want to try and get this correct for others to read as well. My water flow has decreased significantly. 1) I have removed the HE end caps and cleaned both ends. They are clear of any obstruction. 2) I pulled off water pump and impeller and they look perfect as I just changed it last year. 3) I took off the hoses from the seacock to the strainer, pump hoses, exhaust hoses all the way to the muffler and they are all clear. checked all 90 degree turns and they are clear.
So my only thought left is that the HE core is blocked and needs an acid rinse or the pump is failing and not pushing enough water. I did run the genny with exhaust hose off prior to muffler and it looked like enough water was exiting, but just not seeing it on the output side of the hull. Any thoughts would be great. Thanks
